Klei Publishing's puzzlers and RPGs

You can keep time against lane-based foes in Rift of the NecroDancer, plan production chains in Kaizen: A Factory Story, or shape a magic school in Mind Over Magic.

You get a set of systems-driven indies here that ask you to learn rules and then bend them. Kaizen: A Factory Story has you sketching and refining assembly steps until everything flows, while U.V.S. Nirmana has you wiring strange ship machinery with similar care. If you want something more active, Rift of the NecroDancer swaps quiet planning for watching lanes and answering each foe pattern with timed moves.
