The article highlights three lesser-known games released in September as alternatives to major titles such as Marvel’s Wolverine and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. It presents them as varied, lower-pressure experiences that offer a welcome break from the month’s large action releases.

– He Who Watches: A first-person puzzle game inspired by Portal, featuring gravity-shifting mechanics and challenging but logical puzzles.
– Woodo: A relaxing puzzle game resembling a tactile colouring book, with wooden dioramas, gentle sound design and appealing art direction.
– Well Dweller: A fairytale-themed Metroidvania from Crypt Custodian developer Kyle Thompson, offering approachable combat and exploration with considerable depth.
