GOG winter sale has begun :] make sure you check it out before any other store (not optional). ends 2024-01-04!
games sold on GOG are free of DRM and come with completely offline installers! they’re yours to keep forever!
here are some newer games i recommend checking out!
Cult of the Lamb – US$14.99, Cultist Edition US$17.98, individual DLCs 25% off.
Note: this game launched with “antipiracy” style DRM that causes a savebreaking bug, even on the GOG version. It was patched out, but its existence rightfully turned people off and it’s reflected in the reviews.

Honorable mentions, (properties geared towards adults)
Dead Space, Resident Evil, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel,
Stephen King's It, The Ring, The Exorcist,
Update, originally I wanted to add in great Wolf Lodge in the list but I'll just add it in as a bonus franchise since it would be awesome if Lego could do a great Wolf Lodge set.
An amusement park management game set in Steeplechase from The Adventure Zone. You can spend your funds to build rides and attractions, to repair existing ones and for research and development of new rides. You can hire staff to maintain the park, take care of security, entertain guests and take care of the cleaning and the food stands. Running an amusement park is not easy, and if your only concern is your bottom-line and you start cutting corners, that greed might eventually come to bite you in the ass, whether it is from rides breaking down and causing a serious accident and the ensuing bad press... or from alienating your own employees, who might decide to look for alternative sources of income, or even decide that the park is due for a change of leadership.
Each level is a layer from Steeplechase: Ustaben, Gutter City, Passion's Cove, Ephemera, Infiniteum, Kidadelphia, Lugelandia... You get to build them from the ground up however you like. While the regular game mode has you tending to one layer at a time, you can also play in co-op, where each player tends to a different layer, or, if you're up to the challenge, you can go for expert mode and attempt to manage all layers at the same time by yourself.
When playing this game, you can also choose between playing as Dentonic and focus on managing the park... or as an outlaw, where your mission would be to sabotage the layer or layers of your choosing, while slowly increasing your influence in the Buttercream (the secret place between layers where the outlaws live). If played in co-op mode, one side can play as Dentonic and another as the Outlaws.
Similar games that actually exist: Theme Park World, RollerCoaster Tycoon
i learned that coding RollerCoaster Tycoon in the late 1990s required significant optimization of PC power and memory constraints at the time. Per designer Chris Sawyer, letting guests drown was simply easier than programming the alternative of allowing them to swim to shore (x)
