    lineoff sends you deep into a very dangerous machine filled with moving saw blades so you can clean all the dust out of it. I am not sure this job would pass any sort of health and safety inspection, but given how many dangerous tasks I’ve had to do over my years of employment at various places (can’t exactly blow the whistle if you need that job to stay fed and housed, right?), I would not be surprised if there’s a couple of places out there that would put you to work doing this.

    Gratis sees you twisting what people want when they come to your shop, selling them unsettling horrors under the guise of helping them. You’ve set up shop in a new town. I’m not quite sure who or what you are, but you definitely excel at having just the right thing your customer thinks they need. Or at least something that seems like what they need. Each day, a series of unique, colorful people will walk through your doors.

    If Letters Had Pants, Would They Wear Them Like This? makes clever use of enhancing pants as you pick out words in the dirt. This game has a lot going on beneath its simple Word Search appearance. Although you will be searching for words as a start. The goal of the game is to locate groups of letters that form a word and to gather them up by highlighting them with your mouse. This can be done in lines or squares, so you’re free to get a little creative with where you see a word.

    Robo Catcher Zero takes players to a district filled with broken machines and hidden robot buddies for you to locate and awaken. Finder’s been tasked with wrangling up friendly robots that have tucked themselves into all sorts of places throughout the Amp220Ω district. The reason for why these machines are all so shy isn’t made clear in the current demo of the game, but that’s fine. I don’t need a lot of good reasons to find cute metal buddies besides the fact that they’re adorable.

    Deck of Haunts sees you expanding the horrifying influence of a haunted house, playing cards to frighten your victims. Reminding me more than a little bit of Ghost Master (a game where you would drop ghosts with specific placements rules around various locales to terrify the people inside), this game gives you the ability to set up a haunted house as you see fit.
