Jackal is a brutal top-down action game set in the criminal underworld of 1970s Las Vegas. You control a drug-addled hitman whose primary objective is the complete extermination of mafia clans. The core of the gameplay revolves around daring raids on hotels and casinos to empty their vaults.

Blind Touch is an immersive simulator in which the main objective is to navigate a world without using sight. A white cane is the only tool for interacting with the environment.

Directional sound helps pinpoint the location of walls, doors, and potential hazards, forming a coherent picture of the surrounding environment.

Unemployment Simulator 2018 is a survival simulator where the main goal is not fighting monsters, but rather coping with the pressures of adult life within the confines of a tiny studio apartment. A key element is the need to constantly monitor anxiety, fatigue, and dopamine levels. The protagonist's psycho-emotional state is directly affected by everyday factors: an empty refrigerator, a growing stack of bills, and general mental exhaustion can push them to their breaking point. Existence boils down to routine tasks, including washing dishes, brushing teeth, and endless attempts to find employment. To avoid dying of boredom, the character must seek entertainment, whether it's playing the guitar or watching videos. Even sleep brings no relief, plunging the protagonist into nightmarish and humiliating visions.
