Games Like Tulpa (2026)

Shared: Short Completable

Eight hours of handcrafted cyberpunk seen from four inches off the ground - Stray is the rare short game that knows exactly what it wants to be and never flinches.

Shared: Wordless Narrative

GRIS is a wordless platformer about grief told through watercolor animation and a swelling score. Quiet, intentional, and unlike most things on Steam.

Shared: Sanity Mechanic

Crash a plane, lose your son, then spend 30+ hours building spike traps and slowly losing your mind to cannibals. Solo or with up to 8 friends online, this one earns its Metacritic 83.

Shared: Sanity Mechanic

Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.

Shared: Sanity Mechanic

Permadeath, zero hand-holding, and a Tim Burton fever dream aesthetic: Don't Starve earns every hour it steals from you, but only if trial-and-error is your idea of a good time.
