Hi Bluesky! 👋

I am a solodev focused on adventure games. This is my work. I am currently developing a new game based on the universe of H.P. Lovecraft.

Wow! @oneshorteye.bsky.social has remixed one of the tracks from An English Haunting for his Spooky Adventure Game Lofi Beats. Both Matías and I are thrilled about it. Give it a listen! 🔊

Some magazines from 1933.

Between playable backgrounds and close-ups, this is the first time I’ve gone past a hundred in one of my games. This one marks number 104. To give you an idea, Nightmare Frames had 91 and An English Haunting 88.
And the third and final act of the game isn’t finished yet!

The three witches of Arkham: Mary Warren, Keziah Mason, and Abigail Revell. Lastly, the folklore expert Kurt Taylor, who will guide us in tracking them.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · Aug 25

You’re on the right track. 😉

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · Aug 25

Oh, I forgot to mention I’m not really into adding references to other games. But this time I just couldn’t resist. Can you spot it?

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · Aug 25

Wait! One moment! Isn’t the setting of The Dark Rites of Arkham supposed to be dark and grim? What happened here?

La semana no termina sin la entrega correspondiente de «¿Qué se cuece?» con la actualidad de la aventura gráfica. Esta vez toca terror.
indiefence.miguelrfervenza.com/2025/08/que-...

Miren bien que nada se esconde bajo sus camas o en los armarios, porque en esta entrega nos adentraremos en el terror. Ya podemos jugar a la demo de The Dark Rites of Arkham, lovecraftiana aventura que Postmodern prepara para el próximo año. Mañana saldrá Carnival, que nos lleva a Venecia durante el no-carnaval en tiempos en los que Italia estaba bajo la dictadura de Mussolini. También le ha llegado el momento a The Supper: New Blood, secuela de la aventura de 2020 de Octavi Navarro que mezcla un aire a lo Psicosis con humor negro. Le echamos un primer vistazo a Escape from 8-Bit High, donde un Pomodore 64 malvado siembra el terror en el instituto, y a Snarl, una aventura corta que será precuela de dos aventuras anteriores del creador de Carnival. En las noticias breves os hablo de un evento y nuevas traducciones. Esto se termina con recomendaciones (otra vez con vuestra participación).

Thank you! 🙌
In my case, the ratio tends to be 1 review per 20 players.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · Aug 21

I think your game, along with The Legend of Skye, has the best and most ingenious puzzles of recent years.
But that's just my opinion.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · Aug 20

On a day like today, 135 years ago, the writer from Providence H.P. Lovecraft was born. His magnificent work has inspired novels, films, and video games such as the upcoming The Dark Rites of Arkham, whose demo you can try here:

True! Thanks for letting us know! 🤦‍♂️

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · Aug 16

An English Haunting has reached 300 reviews on Steam!
I understand that not everyone leaves a review after playing, so thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to do so. It really means a lot to a small indie studio. ❤️

I know this isn't the best place to stop scrolling and listen to two minutes of music. But I wanted to show you that Matías's OST goes far beyond jazz sounds.
I have a feeling that this may be the best soundtrack for a Postmodern Adventures game to date.

If I have made any progress, it has simply been in creating backgrounds and backgrounds for my games. I don't usually realise that I am improving until someone points it out to me! 😅

In both Urban Witch and Billy Masters, I was looking for a retro 16-colour aesthetic that emulated Sierra's AGI games and Maniac Mansion, respectively.

Actually, my pixel art skills when I created Urban Witch Story were the same as those seen in Nightmare Frames. In fact, several of the NF backgrounds are from that period.

Postmodern Adventures @postmodernadv.bsky.social · Jul 29

Status of the game:

-One more background like this and the third (and final) act will begin.

-Matías continues to compose music. 14 tracks so far!

-What has been developed is undergoing exhaustive testing to accelerate the final testing phase.

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Arkham anymore.

The search for one of the witches from The Dark Rites of Arkham will take us to places reminiscent of the weird science fiction of the pulp era.

I'm not saying this because they are friends and collaborators at Postmodern Adventures, but Shadows of Afterland will get people talking.

Stay tuned!

Aruma Studios @arumastudios.bsky.social · Jul 25

Thanks for hosting #PointNClickFriday! I loved the demo and have been eagerly following The Dark Rites of Arkham 🤓

We keep animating and polishing Shadows of the Afterland, where you play a ghost piecing together her identity.

Demo: shadowsoftheafterland.com/steam
