Title	Genre	Description	Where To Buy
Beat Hazard	Rhythm Shmup	Basically, a Geometry Wars/Asteroids clone, which makes levels out of your music tracks and repeateadly rapes your eyes until you eyegasm and become mindless seizing vegetable, which leaks saliva and breaks into convulsions. Yes, it's OBVIOUSLY not recommended for people who are photosensitive. Also, hard, at least, where music of my tastes is concerned. Try perfect playing lastendconductor on Tough difficulty with visual intensity on 200%. Now that's what I call "challenge".	Steam
Before The Echo	Rhythm / RPG	aka "Sequence". Instead of selecting commands, in this RPG you fight battles with DDR, played to various songs by Ronald Jenkees and Michael Wade Hamilton. There's three tracks of arrows to switch between, the most important being the one that keeps enemy attacks from damaging you. The other two tracks are for building up mana and casting spells. You've got to hit the enemy with enough spells to deplete their HP before either you get killed or the song ends.	Steam
Papers, Please	Dystopian Document Thriller	You are the immigrations inspector for Arstotzka, a Eurasian totalitarian shithole. It is your job to inspect the papers of everyone trying to enter the country, turning away any and all who do not qualify. A lot more engrossing than it sounds. Seriously, play this.	Steam
Terraria	Survival / Sandbox	LOL VIRAL. Aside from that, this game is ~~wrongly called "minecraft 2D"~~ what Minecraft's Survival Mode wanted to be and more. It's actually more focused on the rpg (Actual NPCs?!) and fighting (10 weapon types compared to minecraft's 2), and has a lot more stuff to do. It's really enjoyable and just recieved a HUGE update that adds tons of content.	GOG
VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action	Visual Novel/Simulation	Sort of a mix between visual novel with bartending sim with visuals inspired by PC-98 games, you serve drinks while listening to the clients stories, all while taking care of your own life. The history actually changes depending on whether you serve clients well or mess up, as they may grow attached to you and reveal more about the world.	GOG
