Phonopolis is a story-driven puzzle adventure set in a hand-painted 3D world made of cardboard. Solve a wide variety of playful puzzles and help Felix end the Leader's oppressive influence in a resonant dystopian city inspired by avant-garde art.
Metaphorically referring to the totalitarian model of society, Phonopolis is a city built of actual cardboard. Capturing the nostalgic charm of classic stop-motion films, every piece of any building, every character, and every frame of any smoke or flame is hand-painted on a piece of paper, then digitized for use in the game’s 3D world.

PLEASE, WATCH THE ARTWORK
by Thomas Waterzooi
Night surveillance at the museum but the paintings are alive. Watch, listen and report all changes.
A lonely clown roams the canvases. Deceptive. Weird. Melancholic. Relaxing? No jump scares or monsters, but the game can feel oppressive at times.

ELOQUENCE
Blue North Games
Collect, repeat, and shape your own sentences in this award-winning narrative Metroidbrainia!
Speak in a universal symbol language to save an island. Explore a vibrant and non-violent world inhabited by charming islanders and uncover the volcano’s mystery.
GATE OF CHAOS
Octamaze
Legend says the world was born from Chaos. Opposing it is Order, and the two forces exist in constant balance. Most beings possess only a faint power of Order—just enough to condense Chaos into matter or energy. Only a rare few wield a stronger Order, capable of breaking Chaos and reshaping the world.
Baboo is one of those rare individuals. When he accidentally unlocks a mysterious talisman, he releases the divine beast bound within it—Heptaros. To seal it again, he must open the remaining gates, gradually uncovering the talisman’s origin, the nature of Heptaros, and the fragile relationship between humans and gods.
CASTLE AWAY
Renegade Games
Build and command your flying fortress. Slay monsters, loot towns, bargain for goods, and craft structures to upgrade your castle.
Will you cleanse the realm before the demons close in?
