This Side Up is a funny first-person adventure game where you need to fulfill your friend’s wishes to keep a random little box safe.

You’re at your friend’s house and you see his most prized possession- a mysterious little box safeguarded by rope placed on a pedestal. He’s left you some detailed instructions on taking care of it and defending it from anyone who tries to touch it. You’d think it’d be safe enough inside his house, but weird things start happening that involves the FBI, getting a sandwich, and even orbiting a cat into space.

The game is a very weird little narrative adventure that’s definitely worth playing. Guaranteed laughs.

L: An Interactive Mystery is a narrative mystery detective simulator game.

You take the role of a detective (you’re actually just her parent) and you need to find out what happened to your daughter- she disappeared and the only piece of evidence you have is her cellphone. You need to look through her phone and find out where she is. The catch is that there’s a limited amount of memory available on the phone and you have to delete files and apps in order to get new ones.

And there’s a limited battery life on it because you don’t have a charger, so you need to manage your snooping resources in order to maximize your chances of finding out what happened to her. Deleting stuff and installing stuff consumes power, so you need to pay attention to all information before you delete it.

The game is fully on her cell phone and you can browse apps, messages, and pictures saved on the phone as you discover more about her personal life. You need to find out her real side and what happened to her.

Try out L: An Interactive Mystery. It’s like the ultimate phone snooping simulator. It plays right in the browser so no downloaded in necessary.

Stay Home is a first-person narrative adventure game that deals with some dark topics like depression, narcotics, and addiction.

You play as someone who recently has been diagnosed with agoraphobia. This is the fear of places that can make you panic or feel helpless, which often forces people to stay in their home and not leave it. Your character wants to go out and lead a normal life again but struggles to. That’s where you come in. You can get a firsthand experience as someone who’s under the influence of narcotics and addiction and is struggling to seek self-help.

The game plays like a simulator but has a huge spectrum of emotions your character will experience. Everything from fear, anger, confusion, depression, panic, and even some happiness are all experienced through the hour-long playtime. The game has interactive objects as you attempt to get your life back in shape.

You can solve puzzles, discover the backstory, and just get sucked into the excellent narration of the game. You have a friend who’s trying to get you through this, and the game balances the internal and external struggles of agoraphobia.

Stay Home is really a one-of-a-kind game. Try it out if you’re looking for something different.

Overnight is a narrative horror game that’s similar to Do You Copy? because of the fact that the game takes place in the forest in a watch tower. And you’re a park ranger who gets the hint that there’s a killer on the loose.

You’re a war veteran who’s suffering from the effects of PTSD and now you’re a retired park ranger. Your simple day job has turned into a live manhunt as you’re informed that a killer is somewhere in your forest that you’re overwatching from a watch tower. The game almost feels like a Do You Copy? clone, but it does have a few things going for it that makes it slightly different. The game is a lot more st0ry-driven in the fact that you need to explore some dangerous areas with just a small flashlight and nothing else on you!

Without spoiling the game, you should try it out if you enjoyed Do You Copy?. Without the extra entity you’re guiding and just being alone, it’s a whole different experience. I wouldn’t say it’s as scary, but a lot more explorative and story-oriented.

Prepare to explore the forest and discover the secret behind the vengeful killer in Overnight!

Dock Sitting is a short introspective narrative experience where you play as a person sitting alone on a dock and reflecting life.

It’s not really about the gameplay but more of the experience. The game has you seeing the events in someone’s life in a first-person perspective. You get a little bit of backstory through thoughts and object interactions, but the majority of the game is just experiencing the experience. Get immersed on the dock. Take in the sea. Watch the moonlight. Listen to the waves. It’s really a work of art.

The game is definitely not for everyone though. It has some very basic interaction so it can be dull for some players. The game has a set scene so there’s not much to explore either.

But if you’re will be open-minded, you’ll appreciate the game for its simplicity. It has some nice artwork using geometric features and a sense of security through the music. The game expresses a simple human story as you share ane experience with the developer. It’s genius, real, and features a very relaxing experience that just slows down the everyday bustle.

Take some time and play Dock Sitting for that ounce of time to relax and sit by the docks.

Captive Audience is a weird little first-person narrative thriller game that has you locked into a twisted game show where you need to perform specific tasks in order to survive.

You play as a character named Matt, which somehow got sucked into a game show where you need to wake up each new day and do some task in order to to keep the audience interested. If you don’t keep them watching, you’ll face some consequences- including getting your show cancelled and then getting killed because of it. It’s a dark game with some very emo humor.

As you play through the game’s days, you’ll learn about the backstory of Matt and why he’s being held captive. The tasks range from menial things like sending emails to more complex things like cooking breakfast. Every night another contestant on the show will talk to you through the walls in  your room and talk about your wife- she’s also locked into the game show.

The game is still in early access, but it’s already very entertaining and fun to play. It’s a very satirical and dark game, so be prepared for that. There’s about an hour full of content for you to play through, so enjoy it! Captive Audience is one for the books!

The Cinema Rosa is an awesome psychedelic visual narrative in the first-person perspective.

The game has you exploring an old and abandoned art exhibit cinema where you’ll have to solve puzzles and discover your character’s past. You’ll experience many different emotions such as nostalgia and regret as your character uncovers suppressed feelings he once had. The cinema is broken and dilapidated, but it’s the perfect place where you can solve puzzles to help rebuild it back to the former days and discover yourself in the process.

It’s not exactly a horror game, but it definitely has that horror aspect to it. You have to explore the entire building with plenty of nooks and crannies to see. The place is very detailed and realistic. As you restore it, you can see how it once looked.

The narrative of the many owners that once owned the place is good for backstory and is probably the best way to find out what happened to The Cinema Rosa. If you like exploration games, you definitely need to try this game out. It’s hard to explain without spoiling it, so just play it.

Pink, White or Blue is an emotionally-driven story-based narrative adventure game.

It combines a powerful narrative experience with a touch of horror. It’s not exactly a horror game, but you can definitely feel the eerieness of it when you play. You’re a transgender person in a binary male/female world and you need to face the consequences.

You’re a pretty feminine person and you’re exploring a country farm ranch. You pluck some flowers and groom some horses. It’s a simplistic and relaxing atmospheric experience. Everything is pretty and gorgeous to look at, but then you start finding an abandoned comic book that depicts the story of another person who’s having a pretty bad time.

Then you start to envision their life and go through all the pain and suffering they went through.

The game covers some pretty dark areas but at the same time, it’s a very emotional and meaningful experience. Without spoiling the game, you’ll be exploring a beautiful environment from a perspective of a horror film. The game is pretty trippy and touches on the psyche.

You’ll get a nice mesmerizing experience that makes you think twice about the world itself.

FetchQuest Rally is a funny little indie adventure game where you play as a gnome in a race. Yup.

It’s a fast-paced action adventure game that plays like a novel. You play as a rude gnome named Bucket. You’re inside a rally car during a race and the driver needs your help to assist him with the race. You listen to his needs and go on a series of tasks in which you need to find specific items for him. In other words, you’re doing fetch quests (as the name implies!).

You need to do them and complete them as fast as possible or else he’ll slow down and you’ll both lose the race! Fetch the items and return them to him ASAP. You’ll be helping him with everything from maps because he doesn’t know the course to energy drinks to some pretty surprising things you wouldn’t expect.

Both of you are angry, unmannered, and upset. But you need t work together to win the race! The assortment of fetch quests and dialog is the fun part of the game. You’ll laugh in this little fetch quest adventure. It’s Complete random unexpected.

The artwork is nice and colorful. The voice overs are hilarious. And the gameplay is entertaining.

You should also, if you’re sensitive to it, know there’s some mild language in this game.

Blink is an awesome first-person narrative adventure with a paper-and-pencil art style.

You play as a crazy inpatient who’s in a conversation with his psychiatrist. You have some mental condition that affects how you perceive the world around you. Specifically, you can’t interact nor open up to anyone around you. Basically, you’re alone in a lonely world. Everyone else is gone.

But not completely gone.

The catch is that they’re only visibly-gone. Everything else remains (that’s how you can talk to your shrink in the first place!). You can still feel others’ warmth, hear their voice, and talk to them. But you can’t see them. This is a unique concept I’ve never seen before and it makes for an interesting experience.

You’ll interact with your shrink for a bit and you’ll have to answer some questions. As you go through a nostalgic trip that dives into the realm of your roots, you’ll get these crazy scenes that show why you are the way you are. You’re like a mute, but only for visible people. Without spoiling the plot, it’s a pretty trippy game. You’ll have to play it yourself to find out the cause of your nature and condition.

Blink is a quick experience. If you take the time to explore everything and play through it slowly, you can finish it in about 15-20 minutes. The best part about it is the artwork. The art style is fluid and smooth with everything drawn out in pencil. The hand-drawn style is just something that makes you “ooh” and “ahh” at normal everyday objects. The narration is also spot-on and is interesting to listen to. You’ll be absorbed into the game enough to find out what happens when you shut yourself off from the world!

Don’t shut yourself off from Blink and give it a try using the link below! It’s a game like you’ve never played.
