Missed Messages.

Strong, story-driven narrative

A short, text-message-driven visual novel where you chat with a mysterious goth girlfriend through a phone. It blends romance, memes and horror, and hinges on a surprising shift in perspective.

How Fish Is Made

Focus on a single character

A short, deliberately janky indie experience built on surreal storytelling, absurd humor and an unsettling mood. Questions of trust and identity sit at its core.

Lisa: The First

Dark, serious atmosphere

A short, disturbing Yume Nikki-style exploration game that walks through a surreal dreamscape of young Lisa's traumatized mind. It tells a very bleak story of abuse and despair without conventional combat.

Doki Doki Literature Club!

Strong, story-driven narrative

What starts as a sugary anime dating sim about a school poetry club gradually turns into unsettling psychological horror that breaks the fourth wall and even toys with the game's own files.

Paratopic

Dark, serious atmosphere

A short, surreal horror experience in a lo-fi retro 3D look, using abrupt cuts and shifting perspectives to feel like a disturbing fever dream. Smuggling, decay and eerie encounters are hinted at rather than explained.

Sally Face

Strong, story-driven narrative

An episodic point-and-click adventure about a boy with a prosthetic face who investigates a murder series and supernatural secrets in a gloomy apartment building. Its distinctive comic-like low-poly look, 90s atmosphere and emotional story set it apart.

Duck Season

Dark, serious atmosphere

A nostalgic horror adventure where you play a kid in the 90s binging a duck-hunting video game, slowly realizing something sinister lurks in both the game and the apartment. Short, atmospheric and full of retro charm with a dark twist.

Thirty Flights of Loving

Strong, story-driven narrative

A brief, experimental first-person experience of about fifteen minutes that tells a criminal caper through abrupt film-style cuts and time jumps. It is a stylish, laconic blend of drama, humor and mystery, best played in a single sitting.
