Rescue Games

Somebody's always in trouble in Rescue Games, and it's your job to fix it. Sometimes that means tracking down a monster who's really just misunderstood, sometimes it means grabbing a runaway pet before it causes chaos, and sometimes it means keeping yourself alive on an island that doesn't care if you survive.

Find the Vampire turns the rescue idea inward - you're not saving someone else so much as hunting down a mystery hiding in plain sight. Funny Rescue Pet keeps things lighter, all about scooping up an animal that's wandered somewhere it shouldn't be. Want something with more world to explore? Nubik in the Monster World! and Jim's World: Adventure Games both stretch the rescue mission across bigger, stranger settings.

Then there's the survival angle - Desolate Isle: Survival and Hero Sheep prove rescue games don't always mean rescuing someone else. Sometimes the whole point is just getting yourself out in one piece.

Every game here plays free in the browser, no download, no waiting around. If you like the stakes of a rescue mission but want the bigger picture too, Action games and Adventure games cover the same ground from a wider angle.
