We're really excited to share with you a free five-minute DEMO of GIVE UP THE GHOST!!!

Taking inspiration from Pathologic, Disco Elysium, and Planescape: Torment, GIVE UP THE GHOST is a mystery roleplaying game set in a strange city in the center of the world.

Assume the role of the OVERSEER ALHART, a one-eyed wanderer tasked to investigate the source of a deadly fire. Explore the remains of the BURNT-UP HOUSE at the edge of town, investigate the bodies, and do your best to find out more.

If you’re into narrative RPGs about cities, history, esoterica, and the apocalypse… this is the game for you!! Click the link above to access our DEMO!! And a huge thank you to everyone whose support has made this possible!!

Happy Full Moon!

It’s really late (I stayed up late hammering out some last second bugs) so I’m going to make this quick. My big goal this month was to write the ‘running away’ route for players who wish to leave the city at the end of Chapter Ten. I’ve almost done that. There’s still more work to be done in that branch, but I’m really happy with what I have achieved.

I wrote it in bits and pieces, and there’s a lot of variables at play, so the feedback I’m most anxious to hear about is flow. Does it make sense? Does it feel choppy? What can I do to improve readability?

I’m going to keep working on this route next month, and keep slowly fleshing out the ‘ally hunting’ options in the main route.

The showdown with Lucius is going to be the big, epic battle and I’m really looking forward to writing it, but I think it’s probably still a few months away. Gaius’ showdown is actually less epic because it’s all about saying the right things rather than actually fighting.

As always, thanks so much for all your feedback and support. I’m going to bed.

Don't forget you can support me and see my weekly progress for $5 a month over on Kofi. 💙

The Hungry Horrors free demo is out now on Steam!

It’s our first ever Steam release – and we’re nervous, excited, and very sleep-deprived.

We’d love for you to check it out.

Hungry Horrors is a pixel art roguelite deckbuilder where you feed legendary monsters from British and Irish folklore instead of fighting them. Build your deck with traditional dishes like Yorkshire Pudding, Boxty, and Bara Brith. Each card is a meal, and every monster has their own taste.

Get it right? They let you pass.

Get it wrong? You become the next meal.

If you’re into:

• roguelites with actual strategy

• folklore, fairytales, and mythological creatures

• games like Slay the Spire or Hades

• cooking mechanics that aren’t just minigames

• grim but whimsical pixel art

…then you might just enjoy this.

The demo includes:

• 2 full biomes

• 6 unique monsters and 2 bosses

• over 20 traditional dishes

• deckbuilding, buffs, and branching paths

• and a really grumpy Buggane that hates potatoes

We’ve made everything in Godot, drawn every pixel in Aseprite, and poured our hearts (and stress) into getting this playable on Steam – including Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck.

If you give it a try, let us know what you think! Reviews help us so much with visibility right now, especially as a 2-person team self-funding everything.

Thanks for being part of this weird little cooking horror journey.

"Real Capybara Hours" investigator Trait from Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy. Every investigator has 3 to 6 Traits!

Real Capybara Hours[1] || This character is a calm, reassuring presence. Any investigator (including themselves) adds a +1 Contextual bonus to all Comfort and Composure rolls as long as they are sharing a Scene with this character.

[1 off to the side in the final formatting] The title of this Trait is inspired by something that has become an in-joke because it was in the earliest (and worst) version of Eureka.

(there is also a picture of three stylized snoops, one of which has a capybara head, the other two are relaxed and sleeping.)
