Here’s a fancy pants text-based RPG by Moral Anxiety Studio from Wrocław, Poland. It launched on PC in September 2022 and made its way over to Nintendo Switch in August 2025, too.
Think of it as an interactive novel, a bit like choose your own adventure book, where you pick narrative arcs and guide your mysterious loner through Medieval human settlements. All wrapped up with neat pixel art graphics and a moody soundtrack.
During our research for this review, we discovered a new word. Roadwarden belongs in the grimdark subgenre of sci-fi and fantasy fiction. The genre deals with bleak themes with amoral characters and dystopian concepts.
Its mood and style are quite similar to the phenomenal Disco Elysium (2019), one of the best ever indie games. And whilst not as good, this is still a mighty impressive piece of work.
Roadwarden is, essentially, a short story. There’s a lot of reading to do, so it plays out over about 10 hours or so (or longer, if you’re a slow reader, dumbass). And kind of like text-based adventures of yesteryear, players must put narrative options to guide the Roadwarden toward his/her fate.
You’re hired by merchants to protect the lands of a remote peninsula, all with the goal of ensuring the safe passage of trade. We’ll leave off spoilers from here, but it’s fair to say things get increasingly tense and dramatic. Especially as you must manage the RPG elements, your character’s survival, and a 40-day time limit to get the job done.
Here it is in action. Again, an interactive novel, so your best experience of it will be reading/playing it. Not watching it.
So, yeah, as with any book the more time you put into it, the more you’ll get out of it. Its fantasy setting is very well realised, with some great pixel art, and the store and interactive elements are very well managed.
It’s like a more fully realised version of Choice of Robots (2014), the 300,000 word text adventure by Kevin Gold. But… Roadwarden has more pictures! Hurray.
The game also packs in a great little score by composer Nicholas Roder. This plays along whilst you play, really help to immerse you into the story.
These are great guitar-driven pieces and set a fabulous atmosphere. Reading with music? Yes, it can work pretty well.
It’s all less than £10 and provides a neat little, fun, immersive time of it. It’s more complex than just reading, but minimalistic enough to still be a treat to enjoy.
Well worth your time. Plus, when you finish it, you can claim you’ve read a book!

Here’s a unique indie game gem from two-person Japanese indie team ArtRising. It’s called Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! and it’s an organisation simulator about organising a disorderly library.
It’s got a lot of attention during the week on social media, although it launched in April 2026 on Steam. Its quiet focus on arranging a library is a welcome ode to solitude, with some 3,072 books to use your skills and strategising on.
Some gamers will wonder why anyone would make, or play, a game like this. To which we kindly refer you on to our list of best video games for autistic adults. Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! will be going on that list.
It seem odd to the uninitiated, but games like this are very popular in many gaming communities. Considering it’s also only £5 and offers between four and ten hours of gameplay (given how fast you are), this is good bang for your book (pun alert!).
For the plot here, a mischievous fair has decided to leave university library in total chaos. As the player, you’re commanded by the outraged principal to stay put until all 3,072 books are returned to their correct spot.
Thus, you must take it all on book by book. And so begins the process of categorisation of genres, with the more you stack leading to unlockable skills that make the experience easier. Here it all is in action, with this user completing the lot in about four hours.
Naturally, a game like this has also triggered off gaming spreedrunners. That’s where players race to complete a game as fast as possible in the name of world record prestige.
We enjoyed it a great deal and it’s an escapist game to return to when the mood takes you. This sort of thing really takes your mind off the world and is great for your mental health.
However, if you’re a gamer… you’ll already know if this thing sounds appealing to you.
Also, an interesting note. The use of AI is controversial everywhere, including the gaming world, but the devs are upfront about their use of it. Tools like this make sense when you’re an indie dev on a tiny budget. We have no issue with it and it’s interesting to see how it supported the game’s completion.
The four assets in this work—one UI component and three landscape paintings used as wall decorations (frames not included)—were produced using additional AI for refinement. None of them were created by AI from the ground up.
AI helped with grammatical corrections for in-game text, which were then carefully reviewed and adjusted by hand.
We only consider AI to be a supportive tool. Every detail is meticulously crafted with human intent, as our creative process is still firmly anchored in manual craftsmanship.
A facilitation tool, then, with great results. As this is a relaxing, immersive game that’ll well and truly take your mind off things. Innit.

Now that I’m feeling better I can go back to playing Star Wars: Outlaws.
This was a fun scene soon after landing on Tatooine.
Iconic western cowboy shootout but with aliens 🤠

I love it when video games have little interludes where the main protagonist just chats with a secondary character.
Here Kay Vess from Star Wars: Outlaws is chatting with the local lesbian mercenary named Rooster (no idea why that’s her name or whether she’s actually a lesbian but the signs are there 😆) about their beloved animal companions.
