Sorry this is taking so long, a combination of real life issues and debating how to go about the next entry keeps postponing it. I'm debating about doing something special for one of the two but I frankly don't feel like I have the time. So just wait and see.

More clues:

One of the games is an action-rpg, the other wishes it was.

One game has an obnoxious save system that sucks the suspense out of the game, the other one doesn't actually have a save system.

Both games were available on PC.

Both games try to get around grinding issues and manage to make it worse.

I feel both games are poor knockoffs of better games either in terms of themes or gameplay.
