Games Like New Arc Line (2026)

Shared: tier:indie

Closer to Dwarf Fortress in a wuxia robe than anything you'd find on a typical RPG shelf - deep, opaque, and rewarding only if you commit to learning its dense systems.

Shared: Morally Grey Choices

Hundreds of hours of morally complicated monster contracts, two expansion packs that rival full games, and a world that makes most open-world RPGs look like rough drafts. If you haven't played it yet, the question isn't whether to buy it, it's why you waited.

Fifteen years on, Obsidian's Mojave masterwork still sets the bar for faction politics, skill-gated dialogue, and choices that feel like they cost you something real.

One pivotal choice mid-game locks you out of an entire second act's worth of content, which makes the first playthrough feel like a prologue to your real run.

Shared: Morally Grey Choices

A darkly comic medieval graveyard sim where you cut ethical corners, harvest corpses for resources, and slowly unravel a bizarre mystery. Stardew Valley, if the farmer was morally flexible.
