January 31, 2017 11:55 PM | Christian Valentin

1quote1.png
The world of Vindit's Quote is one defined by ignorance. Knowledge has been purged, the population lives in blind bliss. But some dare to keep their precious books and their wisdom, and it's your job as inquisitor to seek how this informed heretics and quite literally beat the knowledge out of them with your magically-imbued Book of Bliss.

Mailman Tim might just have the most important job of all: delivering a letter to the evil warlock, letting him know that the people actually like him. A peace offering, if you will, for the warlock is about to rain down death and destruction on the world.

hellenica-1.jpg

Forget everything you knew about ancient Greece. Hellenica's alternate history take adds Steampunk and magic into the mix. After an industrial revolution, the country is in turmoil and faces countless threats from without and within. Luddites ravage Athens and Persians threaten to invade. Diona, a reclusive loner, gets appointed to be the champion of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and to save Greece. Which is easier said than done if you don't really know where to begin.

In Brave Odyssea, a vast world awaits you. But not one explored on foot or by car or air, but by sea, within your rusty workhorse of a ship. Nick Carver's "open-open RPG" may be early in development, but its early screenshots and details - showcasing intriguing shores and aquatic beasts - already seem promising.

The Grey Man has you playing as an extraterrestrial life form, one who's come to the planet to hang out, meet the locals, kidnap a few of them, and then poke around to see what's interesting. I mean, who wouldn't want to go check out this whole new planet you've just landed on. Sure, the locals throw rocks or call in airstrikes when you mess with them a little bit too much, but there's just so much neat stuff here.

Taking minimalist design to new heights, avoid 'em up Ellipsis doesn't even need text to introduce you to its weird, colorful universe. The game is all about abstraction - fly through a glowy neon wonderland full of unfriendly geometric shapes, try to reach all checkpoints, and collect some sort of flying dots for extra points before vanishing through a portal into the next level.
