I think these two games are very enjoyable little solo experiences. Kind of fill a similar space to Space Hulk Death Angel, while being in print and available.

The dexterity aspect of Mining Colony makes me prefer that one by a tad.

I was tapped by Gabe Barrett to write some vignettes for his adventure game in the Hunted series, Hunted: Wode Ridge, which is currently being produced post-Kickstarter. Like the first 2 Hunted games, Wode Ridge is a love letter to movies like The Goonies and series like Stranger Things. Players work their way through an adventure book, guided by dice rolls and a hand management mechanic that forces you to spend time and health while collecting evidence on the way to defeating the evil that threatens the town. It looks pretty cool, and relies heavily on the theme throughout the game.

I've also got the PNP files for Kobayashi Tower and Mining Colony 415, and am looking forward to giving those a whirl.
