  • Distinctive, stylised art style
  • Accessible and relaxed
  • Linear, curated structure

A short, abstract interactive animation in a minimalist black-and-white style where you move with or against a crowd until everyone is gone. It is more an artistic experience about conformity and individuality than a traditional game.

Far: Lone Sails

Distinctive, stylised art style

You drive a sail-powered land vessel across a dried-up seabed, keeping it running through upkeep, fuel and light puzzles. Without any dialogue, it tells a melancholic, atmospheric journey through the remains of a fallen civilization.

Tengami

Distinctive, stylised art style

A calm adventure set in a pop-up book world inspired by traditional Japanese paper crafts, where you fold and slide the scenery to solve puzzles. Its standout qualities are the striking visuals and meditative mood.

A Memoir Blue

A short, poetic journey through swimmer Miriam's memories of her mother, told with a blend of 3D animation and hand-drawn art. Dreamlike, tactile interactions and emotion take priority over challenge.

The Bridge

Linear, curated structure

A monochrome puzzle game in the style of M. C. Escher: you rotate the world to change gravity and guide your character through tricky hand-drawn levels to the exit door.

Kid A Mnesia Exhibition

Distinctive, stylised art style

A walkable, surreal art installation built around Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac. You wander without combat or pressure through strange spaces filled with artwork and music, making it an atmospheric experience more than a traditional game.

Bound

Distinctive, stylised art style

Bound is a short, poetic 3D platformer where you dance through an abstract, faceted world that mirrors a pregnant woman's memories. Its strength lies in art direction, music and emotional storytelling rather than challenge.
