KEOS -Windows-
By lutaochoa
Keos is a fantastic medieval game where magic and swords exist and where darkness fights with light. Our protagonist is a character from the race of light, they live in a place where there are few magicians and they are extremely weak because they can only use one or two spells at most during their lifetime. He lives peacefully at his young age with his family which consists of his father a commoner who rose to high ranks in the kingdom and his mother the daughter of a nobleman. The story takes a turn when the character's family is murdered by a mysterious group. So this is adopted by a being of darkness who ran into him when he was escaping through the forest. He will discover that not everything is black and white in this dark world due to his new teacher. He will do his best to stop the group and save everyone.
Magic will make the combinations diverse. For example, there will be a force capable of moving objects if steam magic is used in combination with water and fire magic. There will be a fireball if you combine air and fire

Lux Licentia -Windows-
by MaskedIntrovert
A universe where, through willpower alone, worlds are forged from
nothing by newborn gods. These beings oversee their worlds and nuture
them in their own ways; some through patience, others through power.

To
keep the worlds in check, a council of the eldest and most powerful
gods created the Shallow, a swell of darkness that chooses worlds and
devours them. Those chosen to be destroyed to make way for future
generations are known as the Fated.
The mark of the Fated is treated as a great honor, and all are remembered for their sacrifice.

Not
all are willing to become Fated and give up their lives and world, but
the Shallow was created to be a devourer of all, the darkness it carries
is anathema to the essence of those born purely of the light.
Invariably those that fight back are still devoured, and the Shallow
continues it's journey.
Our story begins when the goddess Demura and her world become the next Fated and the Shallow encroaches on the land.
