When the Past Was Around

Strong, story-driven narrative

A gentle point-and-click adventure about love, loss and letting go, told without words through hand-drawn art and a lot of music. Light puzzles guide you through a touching story of a relationship.

Doors: Paradox

Cosy, great for unwinding

A relaxing escape-style puzzle game where you search hand-crafted 3D dioramas for objects and hidden clues. The puzzle-filled journey about chaos and order feels surreal and mysterious.

Unpacking

Cosy, great for unwinding

A meditative pixel-art puzzle about emptying moving boxes and arranging belongings across several homes. Without a single line of dialogue, it tells a touching life story purely through the objects you unpack.

A Fisherman's Tale

Puzzles and brain teasers

A short VR puzzle adventure where you play Bob, a fisherman puppet, and solve puzzles by manipulating miniature models nested inside the world itself. Clever spatial tricks and a touching story set it apart.

One Move Away

Cosy, great for unwinding

A cozy first-person puzzle game where you pack moving boxes for three different characters, piecing together their life stories from what they take along or leave behind.

Maquette

Strong, story-driven narrative

A first-person puzzle game built on recursion: a miniature model of the world sits inside the world itself, and changes made at one scale carry over to the other. A quiet, emotional relationship story runs alongside the puzzles.

Florence

Strong, story-driven narrative

Florence is a short interactive picture book about a first great love, told through small intuitive mini-games instead of dialogue. Its illustrations and music make the highs and lows of the relationship feel deeply personal.
