Glory to Arstotzka! The answer to Mystery Screenshot #4 is none other than Papers, Please.

The game also has a killer opening theme, which we still can't get it out of our head. Buy Papers, Please on Steam

5. A Story About My Uncle by Gone North Games

Mystery Screenshot #5 reveals itself to be none other than the game A Story About My Uncle. This indie title surprised us, and was extremely enjoyable despite its short duration. In the game, you quest through magical worlds seeking your lost uncle. The gameplay reminded us of Mirror's Edge, as you leap and grapple onto objects. The world created within the game is highly immersive, and the voice acting is top notch. While obscure, this indie title is definitely one to try out for yourself. Buy A Story About My Uncle on Steam

6. RunGunJumpGun by ThirtyThree

The answer to #6 is none other than RunGunJumpGun. We apologize, as this one may have been a bit unfair. You see, RunGunJumpGun doesn't release until August 31st. Nevertheless, this incredibly difficult side-scroller is one we've had our eye on, and are absolutely excited to play. If you haven't heard about RunGunJumpGun, and love punishing games like Dark Souls or Super Meat Boy, be sure to snag a copy on August 31st. Buy RunGunJumpGun on Steam

7. Starbound by Chucklefish 

If you love Terraria, you will certainly love Starbound. Starbound takes Chucklefish's open-world sandbox game and expands it, providing players with the chance to explore the galaxy and its countless randomly generated worlds. If you've been longing for No Man's Sky for this reason, but are waiting for kinks to be worked out of the PC version, why not give Starbound a try? Soothing, bright, cheerful, and above all, tons of fun. Buy Starbound on Steam

8. Audiosurf 2 by Dylan Fitterer

Audiosurf 2 isn't the first of its kind, as many gamers will remember the iconic original which released way back in 2008. On YouTube, prior to the rise in Let's Plays, many users would upload clips of them playing difficult tracks in Audiosurf to show off their prowess. One song in particular, Dragonforce's "Through The Fire and Flames," was one of the most popular tracks in Audiosurf 2 due to its insane difficulty level. With updated graphics, and a system that analyzes your music even better, Audiosurf 2 is a blast that never seems to get old. And if you're wishing you could play something like this on VR, you can! Dylan Fitterer recently released "Audioshield" earlier this year, which takes the mechanics of Audiosurf 2 and tailors them for the HTC Vive. If you're a music lover, this game will hit all the right notes. Buy Audiosurf 2 on Steam!

9. Alan Wake by Remedy Entertainment 

We're not going to sugarcoat it... we love this game! Alan Wake by Remedy Entertainment is like dropping yourself right in the middle of a Stephen King novel. In the game, you will follow protagonist Alan through the mysterious town of Bright Falls as he searches for his wife who has gone missing. The game has no shortage of surprises, twists, and heart-pounding moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the game. Overall, it plays out like a novel or a TV series, which is fitting as Alan himself is a writer. While fans may still be waiting desperately for an Alan Wake 2, replaying the classic game is well worth it as you may just find things you missed the first time around. Buy Alan Wake on Steam

10. Crusader Kings II by Paradox Interactive 

Last, but certainly not least, we have your answer to Mystery Screenshot #10... Crusader Kings II. Whether you're a fan of George R.R. Martin's popular Game of Thrones series, or you enjoy turn-based strategy games like Sid Meier's Civilization, Crusader Kings II has a lot to offer. A single game can last for hours on end, and will encourage you to play towards the long game rather than making impulsive decisions. Medieval Europe is truly brought to life in this stunning entry from Paradox, and if you feel you're up to the challenge, give it a playthrough (although you may be there a while). Buy Crusader Kings II on Steam!
