Trail Torment is an ultramarathon racing simulator built on New Hampshire's infamous Pemi Loop... 32 miles of White Mountain trail that has humbled faster runners than you. In this game you're not the runner. You're the pacer. The voice in their head. The one who says "you've got this" and has to mean it. Roll a random starting condition. Maybe your runner woke up feeling great. Maybe they're already on the Struggle Bus with angry GI and chafing from the drive. Play the hand you're dealt. Pack your gear. Every item costs weight. Every missing item costs more. Bring the storm shell and lose a little speed all day, or leave it behind and pray the forecast was right. The forecast is usually right. Usually. Choose your direction at the trailhead. Counter-clockwise hits the big climbs early... Osseo, Franconia Ridge, the exposed alpine ridgeline. Clockwise saves the hard stuff for later, when your legs are gone and the sun is setting. Real runners argue about this. Now you can settle it. Then the trail happens. Falls on wet rock below Bondcliff. GI emergencies that require... stopping. Blisters that turn every step into a negotiation. Wrong turns at actual junctions where actual runners actually get lost. (Below Bondcliff, checking the map doesn't always help. That's not a bug. That's the Pemi.) Send your runner messages. Encouragement works. "You've got this" restores will. Profanity doesn't. "Small steps" on a climb actually improves efficiency. "Almost there" at mile 6 makes things worse. The game knows the difference between a good pacer and someone yelling from a lawn chair. Real quotes from real ultrarunners and coaches appear at the worst possible moments. David Roche says "You're amazing" right after your runner faceplants. Bill Belichick says "Do your job" as you leave an aid station. It's fine. Everything is fine. Navigate with a topo map. Stop at viewpoints for a Will to Live boost (but the clock keeps running). Take selfies of your stick figure's worst moments and share them with your running group chat. The Pemi Loop FKT leaderboard uses real verified fastest known times. Jake Acito holds the men's record at 5:32:34. Britta Clark holds the women's at 6:31:49. Your time slots in next to theirs. Good luck with that. If you finish, you get a belt buckle. You earned it. Barely. If you don't finish, a Saint Bernard brings you a blanket. Under 10 minutes per run. Infinite replayability. Built by someone who has actually run this trail and should probably know better. Plan. Commit. Suffer. Repeat.

Point War is a real-time strategy game fought on the actual world map. Pick a nation — a superpower or a single-city state — and take it to war. Real cities produce your troops, real economies fund them, and every border on screen is the real one. There is no invented continent to learn. The map is the world you already know. HOW IT PLAYS - Cities are your production. Hold more of them and your army grows faster. - Push into your neighbours, take their cities, and knock nations out of the war one by one. - The front line is simulated, not scripted: it bends where you commit force and breaks where you do not. - Land, sea and air all matter. Coastlines, deployment zones and range decide what you can reach. - Speed controls let you slow a decisive push down or fast-forward a quiet hour.
