Aperture
Aperture is a first-person horror game that immerses the player in an abandoned hospital where survival depends on stealth, strategy and resource management. The core mechanic is exploration & survival, as it revolves around the player having to find photographic evidence of any paranormal activity while avoiding an unseen yet highly perceptive entity.
The player’s only means of detecting the entity is through a limited-battery video camera, introducing a risk-reward dynamic where resource conservation and spatial awareness are crucial.
Blood Thirsty
Blood Thirsty is a management-action game where players step into the shoes of a discerning vampire connoisseur, obsessed with curating the finest human delicacies. Each night, the vampire prowls the dark, neon-lit streets of a gothic city, harvesting blood and organs from unsuspecting humans. These ingredients are then transformed into luxurious blood-based concoctions at his exclusive underground cafe, serving a clientele that demands sophistication.
The goal is clear: to gather every type of organ and craft the ultimate menu, pushing the boundaries of vampire gastronomy.
Dimension Deuce
Dimension Deuce (DD) is a top-down dungeon-crawling roguelite where timing is everything. As a rising tennis star thrust into a dimension where tennis is outlawed by the oppressive Evil Tennis Inc., you must fight through twisted courts guarded by Roger Federont’s minions. The game focuses on deflection-based gameplay—you can shoot, but the true path to victory lies in skillfully returning enemy shots with your racket.
With power-ups, fast-paced combat, and a lineup of delightfully terrifying bosses, Dimension Deuce offers a unique twist on the dungeon-crawler genre.
Trials of Fire and Ice
Trials of Ice & Fire is a metroidvania-themed action platformer game about a swordsman looking to overcome an ancient trial built by an ancient civilization. In a world where one may attune themselves to either fire or ice, only the one that has control over both may triumph within the trial.
Inside, the swordsman has to tackle multiple rooms that have not only monsters, but also past trespassers who have been consumed by the walls of the trial.
2 Miles Under SUTD
This game is a roguelike dungeon RPG where players navigate through an academic-themed dungeon, battling bosses that represent university courses. The game integrates an XP and health system modeled after a GPA, influencing progression and overall success.
Players choose courses (bosses) each semester, acquire weapons/skills from defeated foes, and ultimately aim to graduate with high honors by conquering the Final Boss: Internship & Capstone Project.
Route 66
Route 66 is a single-player narrative puzzle-exploration game with a time-loop mechanic, set within the theme of the wild west. As a sentient glitch which possesses town characters in an otherwise deterministic gameworld, the long term game objective is to progress through game characters while remaining under the radar of the antagonistic sheriff and end the loop.
Sephere
Sphere.io is a fast-paced, physics-based singleplayer game that emphasizes reflexes and tactical decision-making. The game is set in a minimalistic 3D arena where players control spheres that can move and collide with others.
Built entirely in 🦀.
Sushi Shakedown
In Sushi Shakedown, you play as a former gambler striving for redemption by running a small sushi stall in a vibrant, anime-styled rural Japanese town. However, your new life comes with a heavy burden: a crushing daily debt owed to the local Yakuza. Each day, you must serve customers with speed and precision to earn enough money before the debt collector returns.
Fail to pay, and you lose your stall and the game.
