Uncover the origins of organized crime in Mafia: The Old Country, a gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily. Fight to survive as Enzo Favara and prove your worth to the Family in this immersive third-person action-adventure set during a dangerous, unforgiving era.

Enzo will do anything for a better life. After a brutal childhood of forced labor, he's ready to risk everything to become a man of honor in the Torrisi crime family.

His oath to the Mafia, with all the power, temptation, and hardship it entails, is a burning reminder of this simple truth:

Family Takes Sacrifice.

This thrilling narrative is brought to life by stunning visuals, cinematic storytelling, and the authentic realism that the critically acclaimed Mafia series is known for. Enzo's story unfolds in a time when skill with a stiletto blade was a deadly asset, a lupara sawed-off shotgun was a go-to firearm, murderous vendettas raged for decades, and mafiosi patrolled their protection rackets on foot, horseback, or behind the wheel of turn-of-the-century motorcars.

The rough-hewn beauty of Sicily's rugged countryside is a stark contrast to the grime of urban alleyways—but the treachery and violence of this gangland run just as deep. Rival families and their ruthless leaders wage unending turf wars in the shadows, hidden from the public eye. Trust is a fleeting rarity, and loyalties are worth killing for.

You're the antihero of this thrilling 1900s story, living out every tense moment of Enzo's descent into Sicily’s clandestine criminal underworld. Come face-to-face with a cast of unpredictable allies and cutthroat enemies in this classic crime drama, rich in period-authentic details that will immerse you in this treacherous Mediterranean setting.

Engage in life-or-death combat, be it up close with a blade or from afar with a variety of firearms. Ambush enemies for vicious stealth takedowns, or slice them up in close-quarters duels. If you prefer firearms, wield period-authentic handguns, rifles, and shotguns to overcome any odds and doggedly eliminate the Don's enemies.

Traverse a wide range of Sicilian environments, from underground crypts and crumbling ruins to bountiful vineyards and ornate opera houses. To reach your next target or make a hurried getaway, you'll need to gallop on horseback across cobbled streets and open fields, or speed down dirt roads in authentic turn-of-the-century automobiles.

Inspired by some of the most influential surrealist works (Silent Hill, the original tale of Alice in Wonderland, films by David Lynch and Satoshi Kon...), allow yourself to be swept away by an intense and mesmerising story, oscillating between dreams and nightmares.

Gloria is a cabaret dancer at the end of her rope. As her career, relationships and self-esteem begin to deteriorate, a mysterious patron makes her an offer she couldn’t possibly refuse. Will this event mark the end of her recent struggles , or the beginning of her descent into hell?
Decarnation is a story of survival, where monsters and nightmares weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life. Get ready for a poignant and captivating adventure!

With a wide variety of mini-games, Decarnation expertly brings together the classic elements of horror and adventure games, where each challenge requires consideration, responsiveness and coordination. Solve cryptic riddles, confront ominous enemies and explore a bewildering world...

Decarnation's Rêve and Cauchemar soundtracks feature contributions from numerous artists, including the renowned composer Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill) whose works blend horror and the paranormal, breathing life into this nightmarish tale.

a gorgeous pixel-art linear action RPG experience, where the only thing standing between you and an embarrassingly swift death is your mouse. Strike, parry, and cast powerful spells on your enemies, loot increasingly magnificent treasures and equipment, get lost in a beautifully brutal world, take down a centuries old not-so-secret society, and become the hero you REALLY don’t want to be!

In a world where magical artifacts are common, an ancient brotherhood rules and strives to collect and hoard every facet of ancient magic. The main rule of survival here is to always be aware of your surroundings and keep your reflexes in tip-top shape, as the realm runs on GREED, and no mortal being can resist the urge to steal, lie, and throw you to the wolves if it means THEY get something for YOUR trouble.

Put your reflexes to the test in a reactive combat system, where every move is made with your cursor, every precious second counts, and quick reaction is the key to not getting blown up or cut into pieces!

Explore every inch of a masterfully and passionately crafted pixel-art world chock full of magic, secrets, GREED, and very sassy humor! Collect practical, yet absolutely DASHING armor, deadly weapons, and if that isn’t enough, imbue them with ancient magic to bestow special abilities, mix and match magical powers to maximize their potential!

Live (or die) through a brutal story of deception and fraud, where even the friendliest looking fella is looking to rob you, be smart, and learn to use their weapons against them!

Tolkien.

He's got nothing more to lose… How far will he go to retrieve his Precious?

Taking place in parallel to the events described in The Fellowship of the Ring ™, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an action-adventure game and an epic interactive experience. You play as the enigmatic Gollum on his perilous journey and find out how he outwitted the most powerful characters in Middle-earth.

THE UNTOLD STORY

He has survived dangers most wouldn't dare talk about, driven by the singular desire to once again hold in his hands what was stolen from him. Although his desperate quest is a central part of the story crafted by J.R.R. Tolkien, it has never been told in detail. For the first time, follow the untold story of Gollum: an experience that stays incredibly faithful to the books. From his flight from Mordor, where he escaped the Mouth of Sauron and the demon-spider Shelob, to the dungeons of the Elvenking Thranduil, Legolas' father, Gollum has had many adventures and encounters on his extraordinary journey.

ACTION AND STEALTH

After being corrupted by the Ring over hundreds of years, Gollum has developed exceptional agility and sharp wits. Use his unique skills to explore and infiltrate legendary locations and dizzying heights. Find your way past the Orcs as you climb the Dark Tower of Barad-dûr and give the Elves the slip in the mysterious Mirkwood.
While Gollum is no fighter, he is more than capable of strangling a careless enemy when the opportunity presents itself… or of finding a more creative and less risky way of getting out of trouble.

ONE CHARACTER, TWO PERSONALITIES

Gollum is one of the most fascinating characters in The Lord of the Rings universe. In 500 years he has experienced events that would destroy the toughest of beings. But Gollum doesn't break; he bends, he adapts…

Tortured by his split personality, he can be vicious and wicked as Gollum, yet friendly and cautious as Smeagol. It's up to you to decide which of his personalities will triumph in the difficult moral choices that will dictate the future of your precarious alliances.

This Trial version included the first chapter of Homicipher.

The savedata of Trial version will not be available for the final version.

Update date: January 22, 2025 ver 4.0

This is a trial version, so updates may be made without prior notice.

Please note that save data from previous versions may become incompatible.

When the protagonist wakes up, they find themselves lost in a different world. As they learn the words of the mysterious monsters that speak a strange language, they search for a way to escape. Along the way, will they fall in love with the monster men who come to their aid...? Really?

In this alternate world, a different language is used. Players will interpret and dechiper characters' words through expressions, gestures and the objects they point to.

The language of this world isn’t as refined as human languages. One meaning is concentrated in one word, with almost no particles; a string of words conveys only a rough meaning.

This is a point-and-click adventure game. Players will investigate items to learn words or engage in conversation to progress.

Choices for actions are available at various points. Small changes in development, branching paths, or even instant death can occur.

Even if you reach a game over, you can retry from just before without any penalties.

There’s no affection management, and acquiring flags will unlock more choices. Players can freely jump back to previously encountered scenes from chapters and try again. Play comfortably and easily!
