Story:Overlord is an action role-playing video game set in an alternate world, where the player takes the role of a resurrected warrior known as "The Overlord" who has control over hordes of gremlin-like creatures known as "Minions". The player must defeat seven corrupt ruling heroes in order to reconquer the lands and establish his lordship over its inhabitants. The game features a corruption feature, similar to that of the Fable games, but allowing the player to "be evil... or really evil", where certain actions and choices affect different aspects of the story and gameplay. While the Overlord is controlled in a third person perspective, the way minions are controlled brings elements of real-time strategy and upgrades bring those of role-playing games. The game uses dark humour, and is a satirical parody of the traditional fantasy setting and plotShow more

A cult classic; Now owned by EA; it would be nice to bring awareness to this title and possibly get a remastering with bugfixes all around. Essentially 'evil pikmin' The second game is where things really picked up.

Final Fall
Final FallFinal Fall is a psychological horror game about schizophrenia, trauma, and the monsters we carry inside. You play as Ophelia, a woman with no memory after a failed suicide attempt—lost in a crumbling asylum filled with hallucinations, riddles, and voices that won’t stop whispering. Explore a world shaped by Ophelia’s fractured mind. As her sanity slips, the hospital twists around her—walls bend, whispers grow louder, and reality becomes impossible to trust. Solve brutal puzzles, survive disturbing hallucinations, and confront terrifying creatures born from her guilt. Suicide isn’t just a backstory, it’s a mechanic. Misusing items or failing in key moments may push Ophelia to end her life. Do it three times… and your save file is permanently deleted.

Total War: Three Kingdoms
Total War: Three KingdomsThe year is 190CE. China is in turmoil. The Han Dynasty crumbles before the child-emperor. He is but a figurehead; a mere puppet for the tyrant warlord Dong Zhuo. It is a brutal and oppressive regime, and as Dong Zhuo’s power grows, the empire slips further into the cauldron of anarchy. But hope yet blossoms. Three heroes, sworn to brotherhood in the face of tyranny, rally support for the trials ahead. Scenting opportunity, warlords from China’s great families follow suit, forming a fragile coalition in a bid to challenge Dong Zhuo’s remorseless rule. Will they triumph against the tyrant, or will personal ambition shatter their already crumbling alliance and drive them to supremacy? The crucible fizzes. Allegiances shift. The fires of conflict stoke opportunity. Only one thing is certain: the very future of China will be shaped by its champions.
