Lament of the Lost, by Labyrinth Creations, is a striking, non-Euclidian puzzle game where you unravel the history of troubled souls as you guide them to their final resting place in hopes of undoing Death's inevitable promise.

Screenshot from the game. Heavy chains hold up a platform with a strange glowing object at its centre. There are tree branches emerging from the ceiling above.

BraveCart, by @hojostudio.bsky.social, is a narrative turn-based puzzle adventure about an abandoned shopping cart who defies two empires and sparks a revolution. Oh, and it's SUPER addictive!

Steam Page: store.steampowered.com/app/3750760/...

Screenshot of BraveCart. It contains an overhead/bird's eye view of a grassy area surrounded by fencing. There's a little red shopping cart inside the fenced area, bales of hay dotted around the map, and evil retail staff waiting to capture the cart.

Nonolith, by @justcamh.bsky.social, is a delightfully surprising adventure where you can 'copy and paste' elements of the world to shape it around you, revealing unseen pathways through lateral thinking.

Steam Page: store.steampowered.com/app/3203340/...

Screenshot of Nonolith. A small pixel art character with an outlined box above its head is using the box to manipulate the game world.

That icon is a window into a lonely place."
