ShipShaper: I meant to draw a trawler, I spent the evening sculpting battleships

A game that asks nothing of you: no score, no enemy, just hulls to shape. And a licence to take your ships elsewhere.

Craft. Sell. Goblin. Repeat.: the forge is luck, the sale is you

A goblin opens an armoury. Random rarity on every craft, haggling with a temper limit, and explorers dispatched across nine world zones.

Crimson Moon: the studio founded to reinvent AAA finally ships a twenty-dollar game, and that may be good news

A Nephilim, a city overrun by demons, and a structure of repeated hunts. No classes, only gear, Weapon Arts, Boons and Angels.
