My Time at Portia (20% off) It’s pronounced Port-e-a like the character from “The Merchant of Venice” not the car. Which makes sense because Portia is a thriving port town where your decisions have real consequences. Restore your Pa’s neglected workshop to its former glory by fulfilling commissions, growing crops, mining resources, raising animals, and befriending the quirky inhabitants of this charming post-apocalyptic land!

Armed with your Pa’s old handbook and workbench, you must gather, mine and craft your way to being crowned the number one workshop in Portia. Help the locals rebuild the town and uncover the secrets locked deep away beneath it. Be prepared though…it won’t be easy!

Each character has a story path that you can build out depending on your relationship with them. Make friends, complete requests, exchange gifts, go on dates and let romance blossom!

The Witness (50% off) Rated a perfect 10 by IGN The Witness is the follow up puzzle game, by industry legend Jonathan Blow, to the smash hit Braid. If you enjoy exploration and puzzle games, then The Witness is for you.

You wake up alone on a strange island and don’t remember who you are or how you got here, but there’s one thing you can do: explore the island in hope of discovering clues, regaining your memory, and somehow finding your way home.

The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There’s no filler; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix.

As the hero you will explore Gemea, uncovering the islands secrets and the mysteries within yourself as you embark on a journey of self-discovery. On a quest to become the island’s champion, you join forces with Sprites, creatures who are the only thing capable of dispersing the murk, to save Gemea and its people.
