Best CRPG Mystery Games on PC

Guns Undarkness

【overview】

“Guns Undarkness” is a “Stealth RPG” that combines typical stealth game features such as remaining undetected and invading antagonist’s territory, with the traditional command type JRPG. The gameplay is roughly divided into two parts: a stealth part that hides on the field and a battle part that is developed by a turn-based command-type battle system. Encountering without being found by the enemy allows you to enter the battle in an advantageous manner. Aim for the depths of the antagonist’s territory while managing your resources well.

[Neolithic]To the End

TL:DR

This may be the weirdest fever dream you’ve ever had.

Life is full of absurdity

Some Features:

Everything in a classical RPG plus…

• Bizarre adventures.

• First-person gunfight during battle.

• Convert supernatural (or not so supernatural) enemies to be your pets.

• Deployable traps, barricades, and furniture to decorate your home.

• Your very own home with a map editor. ALL MAPS in the game can be edited during the gameplay. Support import/export map to RMXP.

• Magical items and anomalies with their own mechanisms.

• Crafting items from 3D printers.

• Plant and harvest food and…something else.

• Endless procedurally generated quests from mission boards.

• A powerful cheat console that can run Ruby script.

• Minigames! The awesome part of an open-world RPG is, you can get all those minigames for free!

• Frequent updates. Who knows what you can find in the future.

• DRM-Free!

• Highly customizable playing experience.

Risks: (I will be totally honest with you. Thus, I put it here)

1, The game is made with a very old game engine. (For memories' sake)

2, There is only one developer.

3, I am terrible at 2D art.

4, I am not a native speaker of English.

Thus, I provide an honest demo for you. The demo version will update all the way till the game release.

It reflects the current stage of game development in almost real-time.

As the game is one of the first and last RMXP games that’s ever being developed, I’m not exactly aiming to make it something great. (or even sane.)

Instead, it needs to be unique and fun in a way that people can rarely see nowadays, to make people laugh maniacally even in a grimdark world where both the in-game world and the life circle of RMXP are coming to an end.

Story

Welcome to our secret society of [redacted]. We are among the most ancient ones in our line of work.

For a long time, we have witnessed the rise and fall of many others.

The situation is grim, the world almost ended in 2008, 2012, 2015, and 2020.

Some people predict it will keep ending this year, next year, and the year after.

But, well, even if that’s true, even if the ending is inevitable, it is tragic, we are still alive.

So, cheer up! We shall carry on.

As long as we stand, the world shall never fall!

To the end…

Features:

Unbalanced and Unfair

Beneath the facet of the beautiful life people called “normal”, lurks the truth that this secret struggle is never fair.

There are things that can hardly be killed. They may come in great numbers to overwhelm us.

Even when not facing such a supernatural entity, a well-trained Kung-Fu master can still be killed by just a bullet.

But, We Fight on With All We Have!

We have guns and our own magics. We even learned to bind supernatural entities to our wills.

We have tools and artifacts, we have skills ranging from combat to conversation.

If there is a lock that can hardly be picked, try blowing it.

There are always solutions.

You Are Different.

Your arrival was not expected. You were not on any lists. We know little about you.

Show us, who you are and who you will become with all the perks/skills/proficiency you may develop.

We may still stand a chance against all odds with your help.

Lead us…

In This Vast World

Your loyal companions will follow you from ancient ruins to modern metropolis, from east to west.

You will meet common folks we swear to protect, watching them live their “normal” life.

You will discover mysteries, solve them when combat evil forces lurking in the dark.

The Secret History

The story behind this game:

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1519140/view/2986431641632413538

It’s the first Neolithic game with English localization that comes to Steam since 2004 when the first game of Neolithic was published in a dark corner of China.

_Comparing to a commercial game, this is more like a memento to the old golden age of RPG Maker XP (when indie games are really indie; when updates are free instead of being paid DLCs; when developers update games for years, even decades instead of abandon projects as soon as it’s no longer profitable; when games are made with passion instead of money-hunger; And, when RPG Maker was not used to just make those cheap adult-only games.)

This is NEOLITHIC!

There are many games out there, made with modern tools and more than 1 developer. They are supposed to be better than mine.

But, they are not. Why?_

Unauthorized Edit Detected!

We also have cats! They are cute. :3

The Pilgrim

A very cool, short, find the object puzzle game. Love the graphics and the mood music. The only complaint I have is that occasionally the camera angle makes it difficult to see what I need to see. Otherwise, this game is fun and somewhat challenging. I’d love to play a longer version of this. Works on Linux with Steam Play / Proton. Yay!

It looks nice but there’s nothing really to it. Though the fixed camera positions made it more difficult than it needed to be, this was enjoyable as a student work demonstration. Playing it on Steam is like stopping off for ten minutes in a busy final year exhibition.

Cage(囚岛)

Cage is a personal story RPG. Players play the role of a young man who is immersed in his own spiritual world, wandering in the spiritual space of himself, searching for self and spiritual home. Dialogue with the self in the spiritual space to find the purpose of their existence and the reason for their existence.

Independent production - this is a work made by individuals independently, reflecting the current ideas of the producer. Well, this is the first work of the producer. It is a way to ask for directions and an attitude towards life. I hope you can support and correct me

Drova - Teaser

This game has a lot of potential! The story shines though - it isn’t (at this stage at least) too complex. I very much enjoyed the action RPG style. Moving through the darkness was one of the best mechanics, along with the medicinal plant harvesting (and too much medicinal plant = toxic).

The two things I thought were potential issues were: 1. More than once, a location is described in terms that aren’t helpful. I just had to look in the general vicinity, but if it describes a location further away, this could be bad). 2. It seemed difficult to run and change weapons - possiblky part of that was due to the “ready weapon” graphics are barely different from the “weapon away” graphics. This is super simple to change, so I’m not all that concerned about this.

– Real player with 3.1 hrs in game

Free-to-try, and fun. :) I’ll give the teaser a 6/10 nostalgia rating for following in Gothic’s footsteps.

Overall, the interface is polished; the combat, while a bit fiddly, isn’t quite as clunky as Gothic 1’s. :) The ether mechanic is a bit odd, as is the resource you gain for hitting enemies while not getting hit.

The setting in the teaser is not so immediately captivating as Gothic’s, but the monster progression does have some of the Gothic feel.

Curious to see where this goes. :)

Feign

It makes you feel the fun of making rp with the taste of Town of salem. While such games are usually complex, you can understand the story of all the roles from the first round in Feign. Even if you don’t have friends, you can enter random rooms and mingle. The audience is not toxic, on the contrary, it is sincere.

– Real player with 52.8 hrs in game

This game is stressful if you only speak English. Every room I join ends up with me getting kicked, when I say nothing at all. I’ve only played a few games, on the 2nd day of launch. I have many hours TRYING to play this game. Key word is trying, haha. Out of all the hours my playtime says I’ve played this game, I’ve only had about 30 minutes playing the actual game. It’s just not worth it unless you speak Turkish or whatever language dominates this game. It’s sad, because other than that this is a great game.

Shadowhand: RPG Card Game

Shadowhand (Solitaire/Battle-Card)

Options include Full-screen/Borderless Window, Tutorial, Show Blood and Custom Cursor. There are 3 difficulties (Relaxed, Normal, Very Hard), and each is clearly marked as to what is different. Difficulty can be changed before each chapter if you so wish.

The Basics:

Gameplay is similar to that of Faerie or Regency Solitaire, with cards being placed one lower or one higher. The first big difference here is that there are no face cards (Jack, Queen, King, Ace). Instead the cards range from 0 to 9. Zero can go on nine, and vice-versa.

– Real player with 34.9 hrs in game

Shadowhand is a very fun and (mostly) relaxing way to spend an hour here and there. It took me around 23 hours to 100%, playing only on hardest difficulty.

I found it best to play 1-3 chapters per sitting. There are 22 chapters in total, with 8 hands each chapter after the first few tutorial-type chapters. There are also three difficulty levels that can be toggled on a per-chapter basis, with each chapter being replayable, so there is no need to create new profiles.

The base gameplay is similar to the usual solitaire titles on Steam, where you have a stock or draw deck each hand, and the objective is to basically clear the board of cards in sequential up and/or down chains, one card at a time. The card numbers range from 0-9 rather than your standard deck of cards, and there are 6 or 7 total suits.
