Popular scary extraction games

These popular picks turn every raid into a scary calculation of greed against survival. In Active Matter you enter shifting territory for resources while rivals and misshapen things close in, and Marathon has you stripping fallen opponents before deciding when to leave with your pack. CONVRGENCE adds hands-on scavenging beside your dog as daylight fades and threats stir. You bring your own kit, weigh risk against reward, and fight to keep what you carry out.
