Curse Of The Dead Gods

“You seek untold riches, eternal life, divine powers – it leads to this accursed temple, a seemingly-infinite labyrinth of bottomless pits, deadly traps, and monsters .  Collect mystical Relics and an arsenal of weapons to make yourself unstoppable.  Battle through hordes of enemies in dark, cavernous passages filled with traps and secrets of all sorts – fire-spewing statues, explosives, hidden spikes, and worse.

“Corruption builds in you with every step – encourage or ignore it, but each powerful curse can be a double-edged sword.  Your greed will lead you to death, but that is not an escape.  Rise to fight again.  Delve deeper again.  Defy the malignant deities that linger in this place.”

Going Under

“A satirical dungeon crawler about exploring the cursed ruins of failed tech startups. As an unpaid intern in the dystopian city of Neo-Cascadia, you’ll wield office junk as weaponry as you make your way through the offbeat procedural dungeons beneath your company campus.

“Failed businesses no longer just cease to exist–they sink beneath the earth, and their employees are cursed to wander the halls for eternity as monsters. It’s your duty to put these monsters out of their misery and repossess their assets–so that your boss can afford a new car, or something.”

Spelunky 2

“Spelunky returns in this greatly-expanded sequel to the original roguelike platformer! Meet the next generation of explorers as they find themselves on the Moon, searching for treasure and missing family. Spelunky 2 builds upon the unique, randomized challenges that made the original a classic, offering a huge adventure designed to satisfy players old and new.

“Spelunky 2’s world is even denser than the one in the original game, offering many more areas, characters, traps, and items, as well as new ways to interact with them (and for them to interact with each other). The world has expanded in other ways, too, with branching paths and multi-layered levels adding a third dimension to the classic 2d platforming. Animals can also be tamed and ridden. And dynamic liquid physics create new challenges and make the world feel extra reactive and alive.”

I, Dracula: Genesis

“Roguelite twin-stick shooter where magic and post-apocalyptic future technologies collide.  Defeat evil lord Dracula and save everyone, repeatedly.

“Procedural generation, lots and lots of upgradeable weapons, spells, perks, alien artefacts, strange technological and magical devices, enemies, NPCs, traps, custom events and hidden shops.  So many of those, you’ll feel overpowered.  On the surface it is a beautiful isometric twin-stick shooter, but inside there’s a huge emphasis on depth, variety, replayability and discovering all those amazing synergies that make your eyes pop!”
