Cloud Jumper

“A chill game about exploring the Sky. Take the wheel of a tiny flying tug boat and launch yourself through a beautiful pixel world, filled with floating islands, colourful characters and ancient secrets.

“For a thousand years the Infinite Lighthouse offered protection against the Storm; but now, its light has been snuffed out. Islands once connected are now isolated and lost. But you are a Cloud Jumper, gifted with the lost power to sail through the Storm. Jump across the Sky and help those in need; uncover ancient relics; craft creative recipes and enhance your Ship. Only by forging a path up to the Roof of the World can you relight our ancient protector and reconnect the people of the Sky.”

Tchia

“A Tropical Open-World adventure. Climb, glide, swim, and sail your boat around a beautiful archipelago in this physics-driven sandbox. Use Tchia’s special ability to take control of any animal or object you can find, and Jam on your fully playable Ukulele.

“Just jamming by yourself or playing alongside NPCs, your fully playable ukulele will be a trusty companion throughout the game. Use it at key story moments during rhythm sections, or play unlockable melodies at any point in the open world to trigger special events such as attracting animals, triggering rainfall…

“Take Tchia on a heartfelt adventure and meet a diverse cast of characters inspired by New Caledonian cultures. Fully animated cutscenes voiced in traditional language will punctuate your journey while an original orchestral score infused with local sounds creates a unique and immersive world.”

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

“Join Alba as she visits her grandparents on a Mediterranean island. She is ready for a peaceful summer of wildlife exploration with her friend Ines, but when she sees an animal in danger, she realises she needs to do something about it.

“This is truly a Mediterranean paradise if you ignore all the litter! From the idyllic beaches to the ancient castle overlooking the town a whole island is ready to be explored. With Ines and your grandfather – who is a total bird nerd – by your side, you can start the movement to save the island. Maybe even the world after that.”

Carto

“A charming adventure game wrapped around a unique, world-altering puzzle mechanic. Use this power to explore mysterious lands, help a quirky cast of characters, and guide Carto on her journey back to her family.

“Separated from her Granny during a storm, young Carto must use her innate cartography powers to map and manipulate the world around her on her quest to be reunited. As she discovers new “pieces” of the game map, players can rearrange them to shape the levels themselves – unlocking new paths, puzzles, and story moments.”

Sun Haven

“A relaxed farming simulation game that also offers RPG gameplay for anyone who wants a little more adventure in their sim life. The experience is up to the player. You can focus on farming and relationships with townsfolk, or go on an epic quest of magic and monsters. Or better yet, don’t choose one – choose both! The story of Sun Haven is deliberately paced so that you will have plenty of time to nurture your new farm while making progress in our enchanting main quest.

“Your friends and fellow adventurers can join your town to aid your quest. We are expecting to support up to 8 heroes together at once. Adventuring, treasure-seeking, farming, and making a life for yourself is always easier – and more fun – with back up!”

Journey of the Broken Circle

“A fun and vibrant trip about life, love, fulfillment and existentialism, where new powers come from new relationships. Meet fascinating characters on your quest to complete the broken Circle, and eventually pair with some! These partners bring their unique abilities to let you overcome new obstacles and keep discovering the world. They also bring their own personality to roll with…

“It’s a game about this little something that always seems to be missing…a better job, a nicer place to live, an ideal relationship… We wanted to tell a story of self-discovery in a fun, universal and relatable way. We probably also wanted to answer our own questions: would the Circle find what it was looking for? Or how would it all end?”

Cloud Gardens

“This is a chill game where the player is allowed to delight in their own creativity. The player’s task is to completely cover the scene in plants. As you overgrow the objects, a meter fills to show your progress. You are given objects to expand the scene. These objects contribute energy to the growing of plants, but you will also have to cover them in foliage to complete the stage, striking a balance between nature and the manufactured.”
