## **1\. Sable**

A peaceful open-world adventure built around exploration rather than combat.

You’ll travel across vast deserts, uncover ancient ruins, meet strange characters, and slowly piece together the story of the world around you. There’s no rush to complete a checklist — the journey itself is the experience.

## **2\. Tchia**

A tropical adventure that gives exploration a playful twist.
