Basement Crawl

Basement Crawl is a maze-based action game with some strategic elements. Our main inspirations were old classics like Spy vs. Spy and Bomberman, and gameplay revolves around setting up traps (self-detonated or activated by characters approaching it or stepping on it without noticing) to hurt other players. It’s focused on multiplayer, but basic single player campaigns with bots to fill in for missing characters will be available too.

Darkwood (1992)

Darkwood is a top-down, oldschool, sandbox survival horror set in a procedurally generated, open world. It features RPG and roguelike elements, with intense combat and a eerie atmosphere. Gameplay wise, it has features in common with games like Project Zomboid, Don't Starve and Teleglitch. As for the atmosphere and story, we like to think that it's inspired by the works of David Lynch. http://www.darkwoodgame.com/

Dead State

Dead State: The Zombie Survival RPG Dead State is a compelling, high-tension RPG set at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse - a deadly illness is rampaging through the world, turning those infected into the walking dead. As society is beginning to fall apart, the player must organize a scant handful of allies, working on fortifying a shelter, scouting for food and supplies, making uncertain alliances with others, and attempting to hold together a group as humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. And although the zombies lurk as an ever present threat, the biggest obstacle to the player may just be other humans with the same goal: survival at any cost. http://www.deadstate.doublebearproductions.com/

Heaven's Hope

Talorel, a student of the stunt flying academy in Heaven, is close to pass the crucial final exam that would turn him from a candidate into a real angel. Yet, after a collision with an unknown flying object he crashes – on planet earth in the 19th century, near the town of “Heaven’s Hope”. If the archangels should find out that he passed the Heavenly Barrier without allowance, Talorel would be cast out forever. No wonder he raises heaven and earth to be back as soon as possible and above all in time for the final exam. Myriel and Azael, Talorel’s friends, also try to help him with being able to fly again by giving more or less useful advice. If there not only were the problem that the town “Heaven’s Hope” is in the firm grip of the Inquisition and that other forces as well have a lively interest in hindering Talorel’s return to heaven… http://www.heavenshope-game.com/en/

Nowhere (2007)

Still in early alpha stage, NOWHERE aims to be a holistic first person experience set within a mystic cosmos, focusing on emergent player-driven storytelling, strong social AI and high replayability through the use of procedural content, combining gameplay elements of exploration, survival, strategy, communication and adventure. Our story arc aims to explore human topics such as family, science, religion, politics, culture and history as well as shed light on existential themes such as fate, choice and free will, seen through the unfamiliar lens of individuals in a post humanist, post singularian alien society. NOWHERE was born out of a personal desire to make sense of the human condition through the pursuit of new experiences. We believe that games can relate wisdom; we are convinced that playing games can lead to new perspectives and better life decisions in a fun way. With NOWHERE we aim to contribute to this line of thought. http://www.duangle.com/nowhere_about
