135 years ago today, H. P. Lovecraft was born in Providence. He would go on to become one of the most influential figures in 20th-century horror and weird fiction.

Thanks for all the inspiration, Howard.

This is Lovecraftian roguelike pool, now with… guns?

A skull on a pool table. There are pool balls in its eye holes.

A pool table with a skull in the middle. Infront of the player is a gun/ Text reads "Hail to the void".

A pool table in a dingy room. On the left is a mysterious tentacled creature.

A pool table with a graveyard scene on it. There are candles all around the edge.

Check out this delightful smorgasbord of curated indie gems right here: store.steampowered.com/sale/TinyTea...

Artwork for Tiny Teams 2025. In a vibrant cartoon style are three rats on a desk coding a game and painting artwork. There are bits and bobs around the room like books, stationary, and figurines. Outside the window there is a blue sky.
