A short pixel art game about a musician suffering from burnout, and a character study about their eternal quest for validation. Told through an abstract style, in a whimsical music-themed world.
A choose-your-own-adventure title made entirely in Twine with a narrative that can branch vastly depending on your actions, leading to multiple endings. Despite being in Twine, this game makes the most of the engine - including action gameplay Quick Time Events, button mashing, logic puzzles, escape room gameplay, as well as other minigames like mazes or debates where you must convince others of the truth using evidence you've gathered!
One for sorrow, Two for gold… This folk tale poem describes an omen where seeing a lone magpie is bad luck. This Unity 2D game takes the superstition and turns it into a unique stealth experience where you play as a magpie avoiding being seen by humans to prevent bringing them misfortune. Unlike traditional stealth games where the goal is self-preservation, One For Sorrow introduces an altruistic twist: creating the world's first stealth game where you stay hidden for the sake of others! It mixes the stealth genre with flight exploration and elements of non-traditional platforming for a one of a kind experience.
