Authorities advise gamers to exercise extreme caution. Campaign groups, such as ‘Justice for Timmy,’ go further: urging players to delete all traces of the software if they are tempted to install it.

Dying to Live is a Flash game I made in a 2012 at a gamejam I organised in Vancouver. I think expanded it with more levels a bit later on.

Have revived this old 2013 Flash game called Mindpeace (with Ruffle).
TW: It has a dark ending.
Also this game still feels relevant, maybe more so now, due to all the crap on TV and social media. Also now that I know more about my own neurodiversity.

Proud of this one! Dungeon Pub Crawl (get it?) has been resurrected from the Flash grave using Ruffle.
I made this back in 2013 before Roguelikes became cool again ;-) It's a short 3 level game. You must visit the pub on every level!

Very pleased to have resurrected this old Flash minigame I made using Ruffle. It's a very short point and click adventure called "Star Seer" with art and music by me too, playable in the browser (not sure about on mobile).
