We created a horror game about a submarine for the "Deeper and Deeper" theme. The design focused on creating tension through the synergy of darkness and mining mechanics.
Ludum Dare 48
For the "Delay the Inevitable" theme, we created a base defense game with constant flow changes by combining curves of difficulty and player power.

The Fall of Freedom takes us on one Pathos-II employee’s journey through the now-infested station. Unlike the mods, this game is made in Unity and uses a minimalist yet efficient pixel style. It’s short and (bitter)sweet, with Frictional-type puzzles translated into a 2D environment, and great sound design.
