Klaus is a precision-based puzzle platformer with a self-aware narrative and unique PS4 touchpad-based controls. Klaus's tight & challenging platforming takes inspiration from hyper-precise classics such as Super Meat Boy & Megaman combined with a tense and emotionally engaging narrative akin to Limbo and Thomas Was Alone.

Klaus follows an office worker who wakes up in a basement with no idea who or where he is. His only clue is the word 'KLAUS' tattooed on his arm, he is forced to escape the mechanical & constructivist world in which he finds himself a prisoner. Along with another playable character called K1—a friendly brute—he embarks on an existential journey, exploring the idea of the fourth wall and awareness of the player playing the game.

Description
- An artistic puzzle platformer about different facets of life and personal experiences.
- Each level represents a personal theme, conveyed through level composition, challenges and soundscape and is narratively structured around a poetic structure.
- In Japanese culture the frog is seen as a symbol of luck and throughout the progression of the game each step reflects the small steps and jumps we as humans do to progress in our lives, ambitions and dreams.
- Association between movement and sound is elemental and the soundscape is generated based on the interactions of the player.
- 40 stages with different themes and associated obstacles to overcome.

Game Mechanic
- While the player only controls the jump of the frog (direction, strength and time), the dynamism of the levels creates a number of varieties and challenges.
- Dynamism is created through the fact that landing on objects creates ripples, which affects other elements in the level based on their characteristics.
- Ripples are created not only by the player, but by any other frogs in the level, similar to the effects other people have in one's environment.

Numbers. What do they mean?

The modern field of Accountancy is a serious and honorable profession. Many human beings have spent their lives toiling over the hard science of numbers. Thousands have died so that we may get to the level of understanding that we have today. Thousands have died. However, as Accountants and Numbersmiths embraced the abacus and the calculator, today we must embrace the latest technological advancement.

Virtual Reality.

In early 2016, three highly qualified Accountants came together to see what potential economic savings and visualisations could be achieved with The HTC Vive. These Accountants were quickly and discreetly discarded to be replaced by award-winning game studio Crows Crows Crows and the newly announced VR studio Squanchtendo, to create the ultimate electronic number-crunching program.

Let's get one thing straight: Accountancy is a mature profession and is not for children.

Alien Jelly: Food For Thought is a mobile puzzle platformer game with a retro 50's b-movie style. Think of Sokoban combined with Monument Valley and a healthy dash of Super Mario. The audio matches the style perfectly, heavily reliant on the theremin to emphasize the theme. The environments are a mix of 2D and 3D, with the game itself being entirely in 3D space.
The primary game design element is the ability to flip the world at any time on one axis. This coupled with lots of traditional platforming elements, such as spikes, crates, portals and moving elements, makes for some fun and challenging puzzles. The ultimate goal is to get the Alien Jellies to the flying saucer, often placed at the opposite end of the level. The scoring is based on collecting pastries that have been scattered throughout the level. The second tier of collectibles are the gifts, that once collected, reward the player with beautiful illustrations, witty descriptions, and powers that allow the player to better face the challenges ahead. The game also allows the player to rewind time. This can be used to either undo mistakes or to reach hidden collectibles.
The game has 50 handcrafted levels, that use one or all of the three available characters. Each character has a special ability and often the player has to carefully use these powers together to solve a level.
The game has a nice slow difficulty ramp to allow for players to grasp each gameplay concept as well as a full tutorial system.

HOW TO PLAY:
Swipe left or right to move the character left or right. Swipe up or down to move the character backward or forwards. Tap and hold with two fingers and then turn/twist to rotate the world. Get all of the characters to the flying saucer to complete the level. Collect the pastries for score.

Almost Heroes is a real-time strategy game utilizing B-List heroes to prevent disasters from destroying the metropolis of Disacity. The player controls AllerJack, the Hero of Sneeze, to intercept and blow away meteors with his super-powered sinuses. The meteors cast a telltale shadow on their potential point of impact. The player navigates Jack using WASD keys to that "danger zone" to use his power to repel the meteor back to space. Sneezing too early will delay the meteor impact, but will not prevent it entirely. It will still eventually come back down. Sneezing too late will completely destroy the meteor, sending debris out in every direction. Sneezing at the right time, when the danger ring matches the size of the shadow, will safely launch the meteor back into space.

Should a meteor impact the city, it will kill a large portion of the civilian population. Depending on where the meteor lands will determine the amount of lives lost. A meteor hitting a street will only cause a small loss compared to a meteor hitting a building. Every building hit will lose one of its three levels, killing any civilian in that building's level. After 3 hits, the building is destroyed. The player can lose the game if their population reaches zero, or the buildings are all destroyed. The player wins by successfully repelling the meteors away for one minute, and the city and its civilians are (mostly) intact. The surviving population is the player's score.

Azrak is a digital card game for Android inspired by trading card games like Magic the Gathering. In particular I've always loved the combo-building aspect of these games: finding cool and interesting ways for cards to interact. So in designing Azrak I've aimed to a build a game that does just that and strips out all the rest. It works like this:

*Pick a combination of cards from a small random set
*See how well they worked together

That's it.

Furthermore the random set of cards is the same for everyone playing at the same time as you, without your devices having to communicate with each other at all. This means you can play at your own pace and when you're finished your results are compared in an elo style matchmaking system.

Bokida is a peaceful first-person 3D game where you experience freedom while exploring a vast, beautiful, and peculiar world.

You will journey through the world of Bokida using your abilities to reunite two stars who were separated a long time ago.

As the player, you toy with the ability to generate and sculpt geometry, messing with simulated physics in a stark monochrome environment.

Bokida's world is defined by two Stars : The Light one, the surface of which the player explores; and the Dark one, visible in the skies above. These two gigantic entities have been separated for a very long time, but the player's arrival marks a turning point in this equilibrium.
Like two lovers longing to reunite after having been kept apart against their will, these two stars finally have a chance to merge once again through the player's actions.

Exploration revolves around the playful manipulation of a set of digital "tools" that allow the player to engage and harness the virtual environment. The player can create unique, colorful structures or compositions and colonize the canvas of the computer screen. Hence, the dormant world of Bokida gradually turns into a territory, where the player toys with the simulated physics as she discovers the majestic landscapes it has to offer. As the player explores and manages to bring the two Stars closer together, transformations begin to affect the environment, allowing her to catch a glimpse of times when this world might not have been so dormant...

The game is also partly inspired by Daoism.

Children of Zodiarcs (CoZ) is a story-driven, single-player tactical RPG that combines traditional strategic gameplay with collectible cards and craftable dice. CoZ was inspired by our deep love of tactical RPGs, namely Final Fantasy Tactics and the 16-bit Shining Force games, as well as board games and collectable card games like Magic: The Gathering. We decided to bring these two passions together to make a game that would resonate with fellow fans of tactical RPGs, and also to push the genre in fun and exciting ways.

CoZ uses a dynamic system that pulls the experience of tension, anticipation, and adaptation from cards and dice. Cards take the place of abilities and attacks in CoZ and are drawn at random. Dice are thrown every time a card is played and dictates how that card will perform. While luck is a factor in combat, it is a factor that the player will influence through dice re-rolling, buffs and debuffs, deck building, and dice customization (crafting).

Like all of our favourite tactical RPGs, CoZ features a single-player campaign whose story will reveal a tale of rebellion, familial bonds, and unexpected wonders.

Expected release date: Early 2017
Platforms: PC, Mac, PlayStation 4
Languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish

DESCRIPTION

Inspired by a Zen proverb, Chop Wood Daily Mindfulness Game is a minimalist wood-splitting activity that promotes simplicity, harmony, and relaxation. Set in a tranquil Japanese styled landscape, with ever-changing seasonal conditions, and a captivating original soundtrack, Chop Wood aspires to bring you peace through play.

Is Chop Wood a meditation disguised as a game; or is it a game disguised as a meditation? Both! It is an experience designed to promote well-being through engagement, rather than formal instruction.

While most meditation and mindfulness apps guide the participant, Chop Wood locates the player within a visual poem where there is a simple, repetitive task, a rhythmic engagement, a peaceful context, uplifting music, and a satisfying action.

Chop Wood is a game of days intended to be played in short intervals over extended periods of time. It is a game. It is a practice. It is a meditation. It asks you to slow down. Unlike most games, Chop Wood's game-play has a daily limit. When you run out of energy the game is over until the next calendar day. Chop Wood seeks to enhance your life, not take it over.

Can a game help you to relax? Can a game add balance to your day? We think so! Our goal is to create a satisfying yet calming mobile gaming experience: A Tamagotchi for the Soul.

We hope you will find peace in this simple activity.

FEATURES

Original soundtrack by renowned Japanese Koto artist Michiyo Yagi
Dynamic game weather based on player location
Seasonal scenery inspired by Japanese Ukiyo-e printmaking
22 Color Grades
8 Animal Badges
Pay once, play forever
No subscriptions, in-app purchases, or advertisements

INSPIRATION

Chop Wood is intended to be a minimal Zen experience to focus awareness and calm the mind, inspired by the Zen proverb: "Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water."

With the demonstrated health benefits of mindfulness meditation, yoga, and other awareness practices, we wanted to create a game that brought some of those benefits to people everywhere via mobile devices. Peace through play.

Conarium is a chilling Lovecraftian game, which follows a gripping story involving four scientists and their endeavor to challenge what we normally consider to be the 'absolute' limits of nature. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's novella "At the Mountains of Madness", but largely set after the original story.

About The Game:
You, as Frank Gilman, open your eyes inside a room filled with strange, pulsating noises. Patterns of lights executing a Danse Macabre on the walls is presented by a queer device on the table. Having recalled nothing other than that you're in Upuaut, an Antarctic base located near Antarctica, you find the place deserted and have a distinct feeling of something being terribly wrong. Somehow knowing that your memories cannot guide you enforces a strange feeling of vulnerability, a familiar yet alien sensation of being a part of a peculiar whole... Soon you will discover that having used the device during the expedition, you have died but then returned subtly changed, speaking of strange memories and of strange places. You have lost something important or gained something sinister...

Explore the antarctic base, as well as dreams and visions. Study clues, unlock secrets but avoid macabre beings at all cost.
