Transport Fever 2 is a celebration of the value that transport networks bring populations. It is a “builder” simulator, but similar to the likes of the classic Transport Tycoon and A-Train, you don’t build the building directly.

Organs Please is a satirical management sim where players take control of a recycling factory… that recycles humans. Eep! Decide who escapes a dying planet in a cozy spaceship, as well as who to sacrifice for the sake of humanity. If the name seems familiar, you’re not wrong: it’s spoofing…
