“A short and challenging, story driven platformer with hand drawn 2D graphics. Set in a fantastical world, it tells a wordless tale of adventure and mystery.

“Influenced by the Oddworld series, Ico & Shadow of the Colossus, as well as Studio Ghibli films, Fossil Echo tells the story of a young boy and his journey to climb a giant tower in the middle of the sea.”

A cat adventure game set in a city inspired by Kowloon.  It’s still in really early development, you can follow the dev log here.  I apologize for the low quality gifs; I didn’t have access to anything better but I wanted to share anyway as it seems like a really neat project. :)

[gfycat data_id="InsistentFlamboyantCapybara"]archaica 4[gfycat data_id="FaithfulWigglyBobcat"]archaica 2[gfycat data_id="DeliriousTemptingGroundbeetle"]

“A puzzle game with lasers and mirrors that has been enhanced with a touch of storyline and beautiful graphics. The idea for logical puzzles is to adjust the mechanisms and, in most cases, cast light through all the crystals on the board. This brings to life mechanisms created by the Ancients.

“During the game we become the Chosen One, who has to chose a legendary Path Of Light and save the world from destruction, by reviving ancient mechanisms once more. Yet we explore secrets hidden by the Ancients and discover true destiny of The Path along the way.”

Dandara

developed by Long Hat House  |  Platforms: iOS, Android, possibly PC in the future

[gfycat data_id="ShimmeringFarFulmar"][gfycat data_id="InfatuatedGrotesqueAidi"][gfycat data_id="AdolescentUnitedDuck"]

“A metroidvania carefully designed for mobile phones, we considered how you could achieve exploration and fast action with the touchscreen. The result was a bizarre, gravity-less world, with hidden beauty. Jumping from surface to surface, it’s up to Dandara to restore order and direct a direction-less world!”

A cyberpunk horror in development by the creators of Layers of Fear.  I pretty much have only the trailer to go on but I love the visual style and wanted to make some gifs of it (I like making horror stuff).

You can check out more of Layers of Fear here.

[gfycat data_id="ComplicatedDangerousArrowana"]on rusty rails 4on rusty rails 2[gfycat data_id="AccurateEvenHackee"]on rusty rails 1on rusty rails 3[gfycat data_id="HiddenAcrobaticDeinonychus"]

“A modern, illustrative platformer, set in a world constantly reacting to your change in identity. You are Elvis. Home owner, triangular metal person and lover of dryness. A sudden thunderstorm leaves your house dissolved into a pile of rubble.

“Only lightning-fast reactions will keep you from a looming rusty funeral. Don your Shifty Suit to incognito yourself and and walk among suspicious hairy folk. Perilous puzzles and prejudiced platforms will bar your way in this deceptively complex gaming experience.”

“The primary goal of the game is to reach the Refuge by travelling through many places. You’ll gather the resources needed to travel from one region to another, and face events like wolf packs, other groups of people, etc.”
