Route 99 Motel
1978. An empty desert highway, one night, a dying radio. Steer through the fog, tune real songs on a real dial, decide which neon stops to make, and trust a rear-view mirror that only moves while you look. Miles are the score; dawn is the finish line.

Embersky
The night the sky went out, only the old forge remembered the stars. A hand-drawn merge-drop roguelite where the map IS your progress: catch falling star-spirits, fuse them from Mote to Sovereign, and relight six constellations guarded by illustrated bosses. Charm drafts with pity, stardust banked forever, chaos windows, a weekly rift, daily omens — every sprite, icon and frame painted in code.

Thistledown Hall
You arrive at Thistledown Hall the night the old owner is buried. The house is yours if you can find the deed by dawn — and the house rearranges itself every time the moon moves. You play by typing commands into a real parser, and above the text an ink illustration draws itself line by line for every room you enter and every object you examine. Nothing is pre-rendered: sixty-odd engravings, all of them stroke lists laid down by hand while you watch. Twenty-eight rooms, fourteen puzzles, four people, four endings, and two hundred and forty minutes of moon.

One More Take
A cel-shaded Three.js wuxia duel on a film soundstage. You are the stunt double paid to lose on cue — until the take where you refuse to fall. Twelve takes across three rule-breaking acts: parry the finisher you were scripted to eat, weaponise the wires, fans, breakaway props and the camera itself, then cut, slow, rewind and delete the scene against the Director. Twenty 'wait, that's allowed?' bloopers to discover, two endings, a Director's Cut mode and a cloud Studio Score board.

UNDERSTUDY — Opening Night
The stage manager has eloped with the box-office takings, so the cue board is yours. Ten acts across three plays and a gala: call the lights, the thunder, the trapdoor and the followspot on their beat, reading the actors instead of a chart. The stage is lit only by the instruments you have switched on, a diva stretches her silences until the written moment is a lie, and the morning Herald prints a notice assembled from what you actually did. Tuned by eye, judged by the house.

THE LAST 7 DAYS
THE LAST 7 DAYS is a post-apocalyptic interactive survival game. You have 7 days to survive after the world ends. Every choice you make — scavenging for supplies, encountering strangers, fighting Collectors, or seeking the fabled Haven — affects your health, hunger, sanity, and hope. Multiple endings based on your decisions. Dark, atmospheric, choice-driven narrative.
The Sitting Room
Islington, 1893. You are the sceptical guest at a darkened parlour table, and you may not leave it — you may only turn your head, lean, hold the circle of hands or break it, and put a question. Mrs Silence Marrow raps, tilts the table, breathes cold across your ankles and sends a luminous trumpet up into the dark, while the room works hard to tell you where to look. Nearly all of it is conjuring, and the game is catching it — the thread, the knee under the leaf, the boots below the curtain. Six sittings, nineteen staged wonders, a verdict on each: name the method, or call it unexplained.

Wagon-Lit
A courier is dead in Compartment Four of a 1960s sleeper express, the doctor has already called it a fall, and you have until the frontier at dawn. The whole world is one carriage: a corridor of numbered doors opening into compartments where passengers lie, evade and revise. Everything you learn becomes a card, and the game is really played on the corkboard — drag one statement onto another until a contradiction lights up and cracks open a question you could not previously ask. Name them with the file behind it, or they walk at the border.

The Last Bus
One night, one phone, and a friend who needs you to say the right thing. A branching conversation told entirely through a messaging thread, where waiting is a move and the messages you delete are remembered.

HELIOGRAPH — Signals Across the Iron Valleys
The line went dead at Cold Hollow and you are the new signal-keeper. Turn brass mirrors to walk a beam of sunlight across a hand-drawn valley and into the receiving station — then learn to split white light through a prism into three colours for three valleys, to husband a beam through fog that drains it, and to arrive on the beat while army shutters open and close. Twenty-four stations across five chapters, every one machine-proved solvable, with an honest par and a quiet score of plucked strings and glass bells.

Aldane & Son — Locksmith
You keep a corner locksmith shop in a 1934 city, and the whole trade is in your hands. Locks are real pin-tumbler simulations shown as brass cutaways: hold torque with one thumb, probe with the other, feel which pin binds, ease it to the shear line and hear it click home — yank past it and the stack sprays back down. Eleven locks escalate from a worn practice padlock through wafers and security spools to a warded chest and a safe you crack by ear. No timing bars, no alert meters. And whose door you open, or refuse, is what the street remembers.

ASHFALL — Outbreak Protocol
A choice-driven zombie-outbreak survival story across seven chapters. Track vitality, resolve, supplies and companion trust; every decision sets flags that ripple into five different endings.

Wilding — Wildlife Rescue
Run a rural wildlife rescue centre across three seasons. Everything through the door is a real casualty: a swift grounded because it cannot take off from flat ground, a hedgehog too light to hibernate, a fledgling that was never orphaned, a barn owl with a fractured coracoid. The craft is examination and judgement. Weigh it, palpate it, radiograph it if the tin will stretch, and name only what your own findings support. Then decide the hard thing: whether it can ever go back out. Some cannot, and the game says so. Seventeen authored cases, seven cages, eight hours a day.

Foley Room
It is 1947 and you are the foley artist of a live coast-to-coast radio drama. The script scrolls above the glass with its cue marks marching toward the reading line; the bench below holds a door miniature, coconut shells, a gravel box, a thunder sheet, a wind crank, a rain tray. Every effect is synthesised from a physical model, so where and how you strike shapes what America hears — strike a prop's heart for a hard hit, its rim for a gentle one. Five episodes, ending in storms built live by both your hands. Every take you botch hangs in a playable blooper reel.
