A mentally-unwell Russian girl just got back from getting a bag of milk, which was a disturbing, minimalist nightmare for her, and is thrust into another disturbing, minimalist nightmare...with a dash of whimsy just because. You are her medication given voice, and it's up to you to help her through the night. She's as used to this madness as anyone in her position can be. You are most likely not.

Enjoy the ride.

Collect All The Things Into a Ball in this legendary take on the collectathon genre, now playable in 4K 30FPS!

The Cycles of Guilt await you and up to 64 of your friends - no, that is not a typo. Fight through literal armies of mortal and supernatural forces with an eclectic set of weapons, ranging from Fuller Auto (tm)-equipped pistols to god-killing handcannons and everything in-between, talk things out with your targets...or just kill them...augment yourself to the point where you become Robo-Psychic Superman....

Yeah, this game is a trip. But you don't need to be on one to enjoy it.

There are plenty of moddable 2D sandbox space sims with story-driven progression out there. None, however, focus on turning you from a humble starship captain into the leader of Space Diamond Dogs as you pick your side in an intergalactic civil war. Each of the individual ships in your personal navy, ranging from capital ships to humble fighters all are just as customizable as your already-very-customizable ship. Slap nuclear-powered propulsion units onto a fighter? Go ahead. Turn a capitol ship into a giant EMP barge? Sure. Make a cargo vessel into a formidable boarding ship? Go nuts.

It's dark, you can barely see, and your viewing options are terrible. Conquer your fear of the dark and rip and tear every strange organic monstrosity which comes your way in this arena wave survival game. Turn your humble pistol, among a variety of unique, unlockable melee and ranged weapons, into a beast which can one-shot hordes of enemies with a cascade of bullets and elemental fury, and improve your viewing options so you can not only see more around you, but even make your light harm your enemies. Even with all that firepower, though, the monsters will keep up with you, coming back more, stronger, and stranger...

Plus, should you clear the boss at the 20-minute mark, you'll even get a whole new level with even more horrors.

A short, darkly-humorous dungeon crawl into the hidden spaces beneath all government buildings. How much of it is real doesn't matter - what matters is you are a lovably-deranged woman with a special homemade helmet and hammer, and you're gonna get to the bottom (literal and metaphorical) of all of this.

Quake II, but way too shiny for its own good. Stick with Quake II Enhanced.

I remember fondly a particular program back from the Windows 95 days: Dilbert's Desktop Games. Made before its creator had his...meltdown, shall we say...it turned my desktop into the background for a variety of fun games, from gallery shooting to platforming to corporate management (naturally). Looking back, the games were simple, but the novelty, using the desktop for the games themselves, I could never replicate with another game. Yes, there's Dogz/Catz/Petz/Orbz and such "desktop toys", but none of them were as charming as Dilbert's Desktop Games.

Until Lumi and her Desktop Adventures showed up. It recaptured that novelty from all the way back in the 1990s and made it fresh again by actually playing with the idea, making it so you have segments which are, explicitly, a game, and then you have the game taking place on your desktop, which makes use of your system's actual files and folders. (Nothing destructive, mind you - Lumi knows better than to screw around with your operating system and anything which isn't hers.)

With a decent narrative and fun gags tying the experience together, I highly recommend playing Outcore! It's truly different, and it's free, with no strings attached. Unless, of course, you want to give Lumi an Nvidia GeForce GPU shaped as a wearable clown nose. Or a budget clown nose which is just a generic red clown nose. (Or buy the wonderful soundtrack, which is far more reasonably priced.)

A fun meat-grinder, "turn-your-brain-off" kind of an ARPG, Greed: Black Border is good for burning time and chilling. The story is nonsense, the skill system is strange - you can only have one type of passive ability (defensive and offensive) active at a time - and they throw in some puzzles requiring actual thought. But if you can get past that, definitely recommend getting when on sale like I did.

(Plus, for the graphics snobs out there, the game, despite releasing in 2009, has some truly ahead-of-its-time effects, such as particles being realistically-lit by dynamic lights, including gunfire, in addition to clever use of 2D textures for some extremely smooth-looking graphics, especially with forced antialiasing.)

Bounce and bash through Hollywood-ized versions of history, from the Vikings to the Space Race to Japan to the Golden Age of Piracy. The levels have a crazy amount of destructibility, and the gameplay is simultaneously challenging while also being relaxing. Plus with co-op, adjustable difficulty levels, and tons of playable content, you'll definitely be coming back for more.
