(the) Gnorp Apologue is an incremental game where players assist small creatures called gnorps in their quest for wealth accumulation.

The core gameplay revolves around hitting a mysterious rock, which produces shards when struck by the gnorps in various ways. Including head-slams, arrows, guns, rockets, and more. Shards are used to build new structures, acquire more gnorps and expand their abilities. Players must strategize on how to effectively use these shards, as they are key to progressing in the game as upgrades become increasingly expensive.

The game can run in the background or in screensaver mode while the gnorps produce and collect shards.

Baldur's Gate III is a role-playing game situated within the established universe of the Forgotten Realms. The story unfolds around a group of characters who become infected by a parasitic tadpole, threatening to turn them into Mind Flayers, a dreaded and alien species known for their psionic abilities and power over other creatures. This central conflict serves as a catalyst, drawing the characters into a grander plot that spans diverse regions and encounters with various factions.

Players can either choose the pre-designed Origin characters or craft their own from a selection of races and classes typical of Dungeons & Dragons lore, such as elves, dwarves, wizards, and rogues, among others. The gameplay emphasizes turn-based tactical combat, where players must strategically deploy their party members on the battlefield, leveraging their unique abilities and spells. Additionally, decision-making and character interactions play significant roles, with player choices leading to varying narrative outcomes, affecting not only the story's progression but also relationships with party members and other NPCs.

A notable feature is its adherence to many Dungeons & Dragons mechanics, translating the tabletop experience into a digital format. Dice-rolling, a staple of the D&D system, is integral to many actions and decisions in the game, introducing elements of chance and unpredictability. Environments in the game are highly interactive, allowing players to exploit them for strategic benefits during encounters. Furthermore, the game provides the option for cooperative play, letting multiple players navigate the narrative and challenges together.

Banished is a survival city builder game where you start with a small group of exiled travelers and the supplies they brought along. The supplies won't last long, though, and you'll need to quickly get homes built, wood chopped, stone gathered and sources of food procured before the first winter arrives.

Over time your villagers will have children, grow old and eventually die. Disease, starvation, cold winters and disasters are all part of survival in the unforgiving land of Banished. Sustainable practices and wise use of resources will improve your odds of growing the small group of travelers into a thriving population.

Dungeon Raid is an RPG twist on the match-3 genre where you draw lines through tiles of the same types. Including swords, shields, potions, gold and enemies. Your goal is to collect resources, level up and upgrade your equipment as you try to stay alive as long as you can.
