To help you make your choice among the wide selection of Quebec games available during the Celebration of Quebec Games, allow us to make 3 suggestions:
- Hell is Us
Developers: Rogue Factor
Price: $53.99 (40% off)
In this futuristic souls-like, you play as Rémi, a man with a mysterious past who infiltrates a country caught in the middle of a civil war. But war isn’t the only thing they’re worried about, as the locals also face horrifying creatures that seem to have come out of nowhere.
Hell is Us stands out for a progression that trusts the player’s intelligence, communicating only a minimum of information.

Developers: Yellow Brick Games
Price: $14.99 (70% off)
Eternal Strands puts you in the role of Brynn, a weaver who finds herself trapped with her companions in Dyneyvrie, the lost capital of her people. You must reclaim your territory by facing gigantic creatures, armed with weapons forged by your companions with the resources you find.
But it’s really the magic system that makes Eternal Strands stand out. The environment is interactive, and you can use your spells to trap your enemies, almost like in an interactive puzzle. Knock down flying enemies by freezing their wings, set fire to the meadow where they land, and then finish them off by dropping a statue on them. Anything is possible.

Developers: Finnegan Motors
Price: $10.49 (30% off)
Do you remember the books in which you are the hero of your childhood? Inhuman Resources is a bit like that, but really more disturbing and terrifying.
In Inhuman Resources, you play as a new employee of Smyrnacorp, a mysterious company. The first day in a new job is always stressful, even more so when you hear screams of agony coming from the basement.
Your actions influence your fate as well as that of the characters you will meet along the way. There are many endings, but one thing is certain: you won’t come out of it unscathed.
