A few years ago we released our first full-length game, Metaphobia. It’s a totally free & fully voice acted retro point-and-click mystery game that won “Best Animation” from the AGS awards in 2019. Check it out here! store.steampowered.com/app/1220930/...

A unique door animation for our game Castle Dornstein is 59 total frames, and the player only sees it once! If you ever hear us call gamedev a “labor of love”, this is why 😂 #indiedev #pointandclick #pixelart #storyrich #mysterygame

My uncle Quentin always wants to play Jenga Unchained. It's exactly like Jenga except that you would not BELIEVE the word he yells out roughly 110 times whenever he loses.

We just added the first dog to our game Castle Dornstein, but it doesn’t seem right to have only one. We should add more, right? #indiedev #pointandclick #pixelart #storyrich #mysterygame

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

We want our game Castle Dornstein to be rich with lore and backstories. Much like Hemlock, our main character, you’ll be more successful in navigating conversations and puzzles if you take the time to learn more about the history of the land.
