Zineth is a third-person, cartoon-style rollerskating/parkour game which has been one of the highest-rateed games on Gamejolt for a while. In this game, you play as a man in a robot suit who uses his suit to complete various odd jobs for his boss, ranging from collecting and delivering "Zines" to shooting to the moon. This game was made on the Unity engine, and was made for the Xbox 360 controller. Even with a keyboard, this game is a lot of fun, as you use the arrow keys to move and space to jump. You can hold space to ride on walls, which helps you pick up speed, or you can simply speed up by repeatedly clicking. You can even wall jump by jumping while wall riding by pressing space while wall running. You can grind on rails to pick up speed by skating near them. This game is goofy, high-speed insanity that is definitely worth your time! You can download the free game here.

Unturned is a free-to-play steam game that was featured by Alpha Beta Gamer a while back. Unturned is a zombie survival game in a semi-blocky style in that the world looks normal, while entities, items, and vehicles are made out of blocks. This game features multiplayer with a server hosting style similar to Minecraft. This game is a serious challenge, but also a ton of fun to play. The map is predetermined, but everything else is randomly generated. The game has driveable vehicles and also is populated with animals that can be killed and looted, along with, obviously, zombies that will try to kill you. This game is open world and has no real goal, meaning you can do whatever you want. This is possibly the best free survival game on steam, and you can get it here. Pulse is an interesting game with an even better game mechanic similar to Devil's Tuning Fork, for those who are familiar with that game. I had remembered hearing about a game called Pulse a while back, so I decided to Google it, and got more than I bargained for. In Pulse, you play a blind person who uses sound to mentally visualize their environment. For example, when a creature squeaks, it appears for a second, and then disappears. This makes the game extra creepy, as you play in a nature-like world with constant squeaks, drips and chirps which become visual waves of blues and greens on your screen. There a two types of monsters, one being the Mokos, who will stop at nothing to help you. You can can pick them up and throw them, or use them as sound "flashlights." The second type of creature is a large black dog-like creature who will try to eat you. When under attack, you can distract it by throwing a Moko which it will then chase and eat. The game seems to have a wondrous feel to it at the beginning, but then takes a turn towards being dark and morbid. This game is fun and terrifying, and the huge (~1.5GB) download is available here. Beyond Perception is a mind-bending Gamejolt dig that I found yesterday that was made using the Unity engine. You start out in a room filled with museum paintings. Stand on a square in front of one of the paintings, and you are instantly teleported into the painting. However, the room is actually just the painting rendered in 3D, so when you're looking around, parts of the room not seen in the painting are the same color as the background, making them nearly invisible. This leads to some confusion on where the floor, ceiling and walls are. This game is a serious challenge, and requires that you look at each of the rooms from a lot of different perspectives--literally. Most of all, for this game you must suspend your disbelief and forget what you know about reality. This mind-boggling game will leave you speechless even after the first level. You can get the the game for free here. Good luck! While searching through Markiplier's old videos, I watched his Let's Play of this game and decided to try it for myself. This game is made with the Unity engine, and everything is randomly generated, from who the murderer is and how the characters respond to your questions to where Mr. White's body is at the start of the game. In a nutshell, this game is a first-person representation of Clue. You're invited to a masquerade party, but when you arrive, the host, Mr. White, is murdered, and you must solve the case. You have a notebook, in which you check off characters who you think are "innocent" until only one name remains, exposing that person as the murderer. You try to figure out who the murderer is by questioning the characters. There are four different questions you can ask, but watch out, because if you're alone in a room with the murderer, they'll kill you if you turn around! This is a very difficult game which requires good memory skills, but it is absolutely worth a try! You can find the game here. I was browsing IndieDB one day and a banner featuring Air Brawl came up. It looked cool, so I clicked it, and I'm glad I did. Air Brawl is a brand-new game whose development just started this spring. It's a plane-fighting game made on the Unity engine, and it is currently in pre-alpha development. The developer, Wilhem Nylund, has released a free-to-play demo on their IndieDB site, and the game looks promising. It's in third-person 3D view, and the game features 3 different planes to chose from with a variety of wacky weapons to equip on each, from homing missiles to a "Batapult." This game has online multiplayer that runs smoothly and is easy to connect to, making playing online very simple! (EDIT: I apologize for my earlier mistake of saying that this game was LAN only. The developer has informed me of my mistake.) This game is fast-paced,and it's a blast to play with friends, so this one is definitely worth a try! You can download the game here. The McCarthy Chronicles is an excellent narrative-based noir-style game made with the Adventure Game Studio engine that I found while digging through Gamejolt for downloadable games. The screenshots struck me as rather depressing, and I love depressing games. Generally, I do not like noir-style black and white games, but this one I love because the black and white adds a sad, washed-out feel to the game, and I feel like the game wouldn't be the same if it was in color. The game has a lot of voice acting, and as such requires that sound be turned on, because not all of the dialogue has subtitles. It is in an isometric semi-3D style, and is a very high-quality, if short game. The game is a lot of fun to play, and it has a very dark, depressive undertone. The game's ending (I won't spoil it for you) confirms that undertone. This game was released a few years ago, and it is free to download off of Gamejolt. The game's title suggests an Episode 2, but as far as I know, the developer, Calin Leafshade (not really sure if this is the developer, but it was one of the credited names) has not released a sequel to this game. I would definitely recommend that you play this game for yourself! You can find the game here. |
