It'll be three years in September (I think) when Apple Arcade was launched. Now 15 of those games will be leaving Apple Arcade. I'm assuming many of them will be released by the developers as standalone games since they still work and they already have a store page in Apple Arcade.

Dead End Job [/] You run a ghost-hunting business. Go into buildings and battle various ghosts. Risk going into the next room for glory and money or leave a job unfinished and save your life, which requires a lot of money to revive. I played this without a controller and found it a bit hard to play; should try it again one more time. I remember playing this late at night while PhotoChess was doing her Sherlock Holmes reading... Played it again and it's better with a controller, almost a twin-stick except you have to use right trigger to shoot -- it'd be easier if right stick fired when you aim with it.

Projection: First Light [/] wander a 2-D world using your companion light to manipulate shadows which you can then walk on.

Spelldrifter [+] tactical turn-based combat using cards for actions. I really liked it but hit a wall and couldn't progress.

Spidersaurs [/] cartoony platformer where you battle mutant dinosaurs.

Towaga: Among Shadows [+] this is a fun not-that-frenetic twin-stick shooter good for about 10 hours of game play.

Various Daylife [/] a bit of a JRPG-style game but you're going through jobs and doing them day after day.
