Game: A Street Story Photo by: Eric Niubo Artist: Victor Levy Developer: Neibucrion

A Street Story is an interactive narration taking place in the suburbs from Paris (France). The player embodies a young thug who works for an arms dealer in touch with terrorists planning a violent action. Those shady characters are being watched by a police woman planning to send them to jail, who is actually the hero's first love. The player will have to negotiate with all those dangerous personalities and try to save his skin...

"Even if our game is not exactly realistic this setting was directly inspired by a real location. We went out, took a picture from the neighborhood close to our home and the artist mainly inspired himself from it. Our game tells an urban gangster story and this very wide and open space would be probably more fit for a more epic story like a western. This is the main location from the game where unexpected encounters may happen. Typically that's where the hero meets the policewoman that tries to catch him. This very open space expresses the freedom that the hero and the player have in their relationships with the other characters. But at the same time this horizon is closed by the buildings in the background and the character and the player end up both prisoners from that suburban territory and its rules... "                                                                                                          -Eric Niubo

In the belly of the beast players meet Adam, a stir-crazy anglerfish, who serves as the player’s guide and companion throughout their journey within the Chrysalis. As they navigate the twists and turns of the corridors and puzzle rooms, players will encounter other funky sea creatures trapped within the lair and uncover dark secrets as they make their way through obstacles and challenges to freedom.

Artifacts II - Jacaranda by Phazero

Jacaranda (a meta-concept within the game Artifacts) is a broken-memory-space that intersects the island of Artifacts (like a transparent color card laying over another that reveals a new wavelength). It is a digital-fantasy/folklore based on a true story about adapting to and developing in an environment of emotional abuse and isolation, and in particular, how computers and the internet provided a way to develop identity and personal boundaries through many times questionable means. The main character is a child who raised themselves through a trial and error unique to the digital age, the computer however makes for a very dysfunctional parent and playground for a child.

Game: One Finger Death Punch 2 Artist: Dagmara Gaska Developers: David Flook and Jonathan Flook

“This is our ten tier survival tower.  The higher you climb the harder the game will be. In order to achieve a top score on the leaderboards, players will have to compete at the top of the tower.”                                                                                                                                                -Jonathan Flook

The world's fastest brawler returns with its unique two-button gameplay.  Play as a kung-fu master situated in the center of the screen.  Fight off hordes of enemies by attack left and right, using only two buttons.  You can play with a single hand if you wanted.

Unlike other fighting games where players button mash and only a few button presses are reflected on screen, One Finger Death Punch 2 is built with the goal of creating the most responsive feedback ever made in a fighting game.  Using our 1:1 response system, players will feel the bone-crunching impact of every button press.  This is something explicitly unique to this game's mechanics and it hold up at ultra fast speed. Just remember, do not button mash.
