LudoNarraCon 2025 – Games You Need to Play

LudoNarraCon 2025 kicked off this Thursday, and it’s absolutely loaded with awesome demos and games you’ve gotta check out. I’ve always been a big fan of Fellow Traveller as a publisher, they make some unique stuff, but their games don’t always get the love they deserve right away. Take 1000xResist for example: an amazing narrative-driven game that took a while to build its fanbase. Now, with LudoNarraCon being way more than just a small event, let’s dive into the games you definitely don’t want to miss.

The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show

Let’s kick off our list with a free game. Indie studio Rusty Lake is marking their 10th anniversary by shadow-dropping The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show on Steam, itch.io, iOS, and Android, plus slashing prices on all their premium titles across platforms. This game’s got 20 wild puzzles that’ll make you think way outside the box. It’s already racked up over 1,000 “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews, so if you’re into this kind of vibe, there’s no excuse not to give it a try.

Oh, and they also teased Servant of the Lake, their next point-and-click adventure. Plus, for fans who want something to hold onto, there’s new limited-edition merch up for grabs at Lost In Cult. Pretty sweet way to celebrate, right?

The Horror at Highrook

Got a thing for occult mysteries? Love crafting cards? Into narrative RPGs? The Horror at Highrook from Fellow Traveller has it all, the perfect recipe for their kind of game. Just dropped on Steam, this one’s a must-try if you’re itching for something fresh while waiting for this month’s bigger releases. The coolest part? You get to mix characters, items, and locations to whip up tools, potions, and even occult rituals. It’s all about mastering a deep, open-ended crafting system as you dive through eight chapters of cosmic horror. Each chapter throws new challenges, events, and characters into a dark, twisted story that’ll keep you hooked.

Here’s what the devs says about the game: “The Horror at Highrook is an unusual game with some unique mechanics. There is a wealth of story, character and challenge hidden in the halls. There is a lot of text in the game and no voice acting (I couldn’t afford it!) and that might put some people off, I understand. However, If you enjoy evocative writing, unpacking mysteries, and are wiling to experiment with a different type of game, then I think you will enjoy the journey!”

No Case Should Remain Unsolved

Picture this: Twelve years after Senior Inspector Jeon Gyeong retires, a young cop shows up at her door, begging her to dig back into Seowon’s case. As she unravels each memory, one thing’s crystal clear – everyone around Seowon was hiding something. Sounds mysterious, doesn’t it? You get to be a proper detective in No Case Should Remain Unsolved. This visual novel dropped last year and has racked up overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, which is pretty rare for this genre. Plus, it looks absolutely stunning.

So, what’s in store? You’ll dive into a reasoning system where you piece together memories like a puzzle, tackle 54 conversations, and uncover two hidden truths in a 2-3 hour playthrough. Oh, and it’s got an original soundtrack by Seongyi Yi, the composer behind Legal Dungeon and The Wake. Still not sold? Check out the trailer below.

Wanderstop

Alright, hear me out. Wanderstop might not be the game you’d expect to fall in love with. It’s slow, maybe too slow for some, as we mentioned in our review. But it’s also super cozy, with farming vibes and a totally unique story about being overworked. Plus, it looks absolutely gorgeous. You play as Alta, a former fighter now running a tea shop in a magical forest, serving customers. Problem is, Alta hates it and wants out. If she gets her way, that tea shop might just become a painful, fleeting memory.

Wanderstop is currently 20% off, dropping to just 18.39€, pretty tempting, right? Honestly, this game’s got a unique charm and does something totally different from what you’re probably used to. If cozy games are your vibe, there’s no reason not to give this gem a shot.
