Overview
Description

In Alternate Reality: The City, players are abducted from Earth and thrust into a familiar yet strange metropolis in an alternate dimension. Your mission is to uncover clues about your captors and find a way back home while navigating a richly detailed sci‑fi world. The game blends classic first‑person RPG mechanics—skills, stats, experience, and a variety of shops—with a moral alignment system that reacts to your actions, influencing how the environment treats you. Encounters can be resolved through combat, trickery, charm, or bribery, offering multiple paths to progress. The storyline is non‑linear, allowing you to take jobs to boost specific skills or simply pass time, and your choices determine whether you become a force for good or evil. Released in 1985, this single‑player experience is available on iOS and Mac, delivering retro RPG depth with a unique moral evaluation system.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven open-world RPG in which you play Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter searching for his adopted daughter. It is celebrated for its mature writing, meaningful side quests, and a massive, hand-crafted world.
