You are a piece of gossip. Every retelling changes you.

Rumor: townsfolk in a medieval courtyard, with the scandal meter at 1

Rumor

Play nowNarrative puzzle

You hop from mouth to mouth, and every teller rewrites you: the drunk makes it worse, the priest makes it a sin, the child gets the names backwards. Grow scandalous enough to get past the gate and reach the one ear that matters, without the wrong person ending up in the stocks.

Unobserved: a wanderer on a bare platform inside the camera frame

Unobserved

Play nowCamera puzzle-platformer

You are the camera. A wanderer walks on their own through a world that only exists inside your frame. Anything outside it stops existing, and zoom decides how solid things are: zoom out far enough and a thin wall can be walked through.

Whatever you draw becomes true.

The Cartographer's Lie: a parchment map where a drawn river has flooded the town of Lowmere

The Cartographer’s Lie

AlphaDrawing puzzle

You chart unknown land from rumours and sworn testimony, then seal the map, and the land becomes exactly what you drew, mistakes and all. Water runs downhill, hills block wind, and a missing path strands the expedition. Keep the patron happy on as little ink as you can.

Whatever the light touches stands still.

Lighthouse: the beam picks out a sailing ship on a black sea

Lighthouse

PrototypeArcade strategy

A ship only steers straight while your beam is on it, and a creature from the deep only stops while the light holds it. Every second you give one is a second of darkness for everything else. Keep the lantern lit until dawn.

You are the hero’s heart. Keep them alive.

Pulse: a man sprints from a dog while the heart monitor reads 168 bpm

Pulse

PrototypeRhythm action

An ordinary man runs ordinary errands while a thriller keeps brushing past him: a getaway car, a briefcase swap, a van that isn’t selling ice cream. You tap every heartbeat. Beat too slow and he stumbles, too fast and he panics, and the story changes with how you kept time.

Every player is a rumour. First to the king wins.

RumorS

In designOnline multiplayer

The online follow-up to Rumor. Everybody starts as a different piece of gossip in the same medieval town, and each player has to get their own story to the king in the form they were dealt. Everyone you convince along the way is still there when your rivals pass through.

Limo's New Secrets: a lantern-lit castle room built from stone blocks

Limo’s New Secrets

In development2.5D platformer

A fan tribute to Milon’s Secret Castle (Hudson Soft, NES, 1986)

The castle is rebuilt in real 3D behind a locked side-on camera, so it parallaxes while it plays like the flat original. Movement, jumps and bubbles are matched to frame-by-frame measurements of the original game, and every block and enemy is built in code.

The gods arm you one grudging gift at a time.

Olympus Will Fall: Orpheus on a cliff road in Laconia beneath Poseidon's trident

Olympus Will Fall

In development2.5D action adventure

A fan tribute to The Battle of Olympus (NES, 1988)

Helene is gone, and Orpheus walks from Arcadia to Tartarus to bring her back. The structure is faithful, the length is condensed, and there’s a metroidvania lean. Movement is measured from the original, and there isn’t a single texture file: every mountain, olive grove and monster is built in code.

The Legend of the Warrior… you know…

Ragyr: the warrior at a door in the Tower of Garba

Ragyr

In development2.5D action platformer

A fan tribute to Tecmo’s legendary 1987 NES game. You know the one.

Real 3D forests and ruins parallax behind a side-on camera, and the grappling hook, crossbow and wind pulley are tuned against the original right down to how the rope sways. The music comes in three sets: Original, a Modern re-orchestration and a new procedural score.

LiveObby / Tycoon

Four difficulty arms (Unc, Noob, Buff and PSYCH) spiral out from the hub, a five-level dungeon runs beneath the lobby, and there are eggs, critters, find-hunts and sky races throughout. The whole world is generated at runtime.

Go Fish, rebuilt as a K-Pop hangout.

GO K-Fish!

In developmentSocial / Cards

Nine tables of up to six players each, playing with photocards of real group members. Six themed tables reroll their rules every thirty minutes and three stay traditional. If the room is quiet, an NPC sits down with you, so there’s always a game going.

The Tail of Castroid

In developmentCo-op metroidvania

The camera snaps from room to room, and rooms switch between side-on, top-down and a spinnable 2.5D view. Twenty-seven themed tools work as both weapons and keys, and parties travel together, with NPC teammates filling in when your friends are offline.

What makes them different

Three things every game does

  • One idea, all the way down

    Each original stands on a single rule, like whatever you draw becomes true, and every level pushes that rule somewhere new.

  • Plays with whatever’s in your hand

    The originals play with one pointer, so a finger, a mouse and a trackpad all work the same way. The tributes take a keyboard, a gamepad or touch.

  • Built in code, tuned to the frame

    We build almost everything in code instead of importing art. The tributes are measured frame by frame against the originals, then rebuilt in real 3D.

The studio

Small team. Deep systems.

We’re a tiny independent studio, which means we get to be stubborn about the parts that matter. Our games are built from real systems rather than set dressing, the controls have to feel right on a phone as well as a desktop, and when we pay tribute to a classic, we measure it before we rebuild it.

We started on Roblox, where we still run three live worlds and drop in as Egos to run events from inside them. Everything new ships natively.
