Sky Beneath

“In Sky Beneath, you assume the role of Cassie, an intrepid scavenger seeking salvage in abandoned mining facilities.  Aided by your inventor friend Annie and the use of advanced alien technology, you take control of the gravity to walk on walls and ceilings and change the gravity direction of objects around you.

“Set on a planet where an uneasy alliance between humans and technologically advanced aliens has caused an increased rift between the rich and the poor, Cassie and Annie must uncover the truth of what happened to the previous inhabitants of this land and how to get off this ravaged planet.  As they solve increasingly complex puzzles, they’ll traverse high tech research labs, opulent floating cities, and alien citadels.  They’ll also encounter alien flora and fauna, like the mischievous ratcoons, which are exactly what they sound like.”

Adam – Lost Memories

“A psychological horror game, based on a true story that happened to me when I was a child.

“Fear in real life is not from zombies that want to eat your brain, or the ghost that came back from the after-life to open your fridge while you slept.  True fear is when you cry in the corner of your small room for some food and water.  True fear is when you are constantly shamed, terrorized, and humiliated for years.  True fear is when you can’t see the end of it.

“Back then, the only thing I had was a book.  When I read it again and again, it would sometimes feel like I was inside it, in a different place.   For me, that was an escape from reality.

“This game builds up an unforgettable and unique atmosphere from the beginning.  This is not a walking simulator, and this game does not contain jump-scares.  You play as a mentally ill person who suffers from panic disorders.

“You play as me…”

Evan’s Remains

“A mystery-thriller puzzle adventure about finding a missing boy: Evan.  The game combines logic-based platform puzzles with narrative inspired by Japanese graphic adventure games.

“Evan, the genius boy, has been missing for years.  One day, a letter signed by him is received, claiming he’s on an uninhabited island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.  Nobody knows why, but he asked specifically for a girl named “Dysis” to go and look for him.  The player will take control of this girl, who we don’t know much about.  As we follow Dysis’s adventure, questions will start to be answered little by little.  All of the little puzzle pieces which seemed unrelated in the beginning will now begin to slowly fit together as the truth is slowly revealed.”
