PACK / REPAIR
BeaterCore
Field repairs happen between races, but the parts and items you carry have limited trunk space. Online racing is advertised to affect cars in the same way as career racing.
THE CATALOGUE / 408 GAMES
Follow your curiosity.
Small games. Strange little rules.
Plenty of reasons to look closer.
122
STOCK / COMPLETE
Model Kit Shop Simulator
Customers can add matching paints to a kit purchase. Completing the right kit-and-paint combination also lets them pay to use a Build Table after checkout.
123
COMMAND / ACCOMPANY
Acceptable Losses
Join a squad’s mission personally for a leadership boost, but risk injury. HQ evaluates results and can order an assault followed by holding captured trenches until relief.
124
WATCH / INTERVENE
Orc Incremental
The army marches and fights automatically, but the player can cast Blizzard to slow a boss. Formation changes, spell intervention and Dark Rebirth are advertised as different responses to a stalled advance.
125
COIL / COORDINATE
Soul Chained
The chain can bind enemies, trip bosses and sling objects, but it also links the players. Solo play replaces the partner with a glowing ball, preserving the attached object.
126
FEED / COLLECT
Little Ghosties
Only ghosts can press the button for currency, and happier ghosts work harder. Growing ghosts also produce slime, collected with a Hoover and exchanged for new eggs.
127
ILLUMINATE / POSITION
Veterum
The combat system accounts for each cell’s illumination, and the developer tells players to make fire when fighting night creatures. Lighting belongs beside facing and line of sight in reading a position.
128
COLLIDE / CONSUME
SmashCore
The developer describes collisions physically removing chunks from asteroids with no health bars. The resulting dust feeds a core in exchange for resources used to upgrade gravity powers.
129
OPEN / CLOSE
Spellbound & Shelved
Open the door for readers who pay to pull books onto the floor, or close it so gnomes can tidy while income stops. You cannot shelve the books manually.
130
CULTIVATE / BEQUEATH
Path of the idle cultivator
Legacy passes treasured equipment forward, while Soul Power buys lasting upgrades and weapon mastery develops across lives. Rebirth is advertised through several different forms of continuity.
131
RETURN / EXPLORE
Withering Realms
The developer says any area can be revisited at night for new creatures and secrets. Perimeter guardians separately expand the world map when defeated, giving progress an outward and a return route.
132
MONITOR / REPLACE
D.E.C.A.Y.
An Atlas node shutting down immediately redistributes its load, making neighbouring nodes drain several times faster. Replacing one battery therefore belongs to a regional network problem.
