Ravenswatch
Recall the fairy tales of old and join the Ravenswatch! In this roguelike action game, battle nightmares, power up your abilities, and collect items to craft a build that takes you to the endgame.
Playable solo or in up to 4-player co-op, Ravenswatch recently celebrated its second anniversary. A new hero, Kintaro, inspired by Japanese folklore, has joined the fray, fighting alongside his bear companion. The DLC arrives alongside a talent rework for all heroes, changing the way they play. And for those who don’t want the fun to end, Ravenswatch will be 65% off during the free play weekend.
The Alters
Stranded on a hostile planet, you create alternate versions of yourself to survive. But each Alter is shaped by a branching life path, and they don’t always agree on your choices – current and past ones. The Alters is a personal survival game that fuses mechanical depth with emotional storytelling, asking one haunting question: What if you had made different choices? Build your base, manage resources, care for your Alters mental wellbeing, and reckon with regret in this award-winning experience.
