0:00 ISO: The Lone Gear

A small robot escapes the scrapyard where he was sent to be dismantled.

Now every machine in the system is hunting him down. Iso is a dark sci-fi Metroidvania about survival, movement, and finding your way through a world that was never meant to let you leave.

0:29 Bio Evil 4

Bio Evil 4 is a short, retro-style action game that reimagines Resident Evil 4 as a fast-paced 2D side-scrolling shooter. You play as Leon, fighting through dangerous environments filled with hostile villagers, traps, and bosses while trying to rescue Ashley. Instead of the original game’s 3D perspective, this version turns the experience into a run-and-gun platformer with simple controls and an old-school, NES-inspired visual style.

0:49 MOWLIE

MOWLIE is a storybook-inspired fantasy adventure following a little owl through a forgotten world filled with mystery, ancient ruins, strange creatures, and a fading prophecy.

Explore atmospheric environments, uncover hidden secrets, meet unusual characters, and journey through a magical world inspired by illustrated children’s books.
