Induction

“Induction is an abstract puzzle game about time travel and paradoxes. You are given the ability to jump through time, and are tasked with exploiting its counter-intuitive consequences. You must learn to choreograph your actions across multiple timelines, and to create strange loops of cause and effect, where the future depends on the past and the past depends on the future. Induction does not pander, but gives players the satisfaction of mastering an imaginary yet honest set of physical laws.”

“Induction began as my answer to an argument with a friend over whether the plot of The Terminator made sense.” -Bryan Gale

Where They Cremate the Roadkill

"On the surface Where They Cremate the Roadkill plays fundamentally like an RPG that utilizes real-time action elements. Combat, is however, illegal and engaging in it carelessly may get you arrested, hunted or killed. Police may barricade save points and your home could be invaded by half-monster swat teams. Beating a fiend could bring their family to your door for revenge. Any of the few hundred characters can be destroyed anytime. Therefore timing is everything. 

Spells are acquired by assimilating others, rummaging through waste or pilfering the pockets of the slain. A few of these can be used in the typical fashion, most have other applications. Conjure schools of fish out of solid ground. Summon cats into the house of a person with allergies to defeat them. Turn bovines into burger meat with a flick of the wrist. Bring to life an army of inanimate objects. Create havoc by casting love spells on train commuters and turn someone's pet dog inside out.

The order in which you select targets determines which attacks you receive first. It's imperative the player chooses selectively to benefit from the maximum advantage.

Should you not use a spell it atrophies and until you forget it all together. Memory is a factor here. 'Use it or lose it' as the saying goes. "-myformerselves (AKA revolverwinds)

To Azimuth

"An alien abduction mystery adventure game following two siblings as they search for their brother in the humid haze of 1970's Alabama...

As a narrative-focused game, revealing too much further than this basic setup would be detrimental to the experience of playing the game. What can be said is that the story does go beyond this initial situation, pulling players into a world involving space agencies, truth control, conspiracy theories, familial ties, and mental illness." -Zachery Sanford, [bracket]games

Airships

"Airships is a real-time strategy game where you design airships and then fight with them. Ships are put together out of modules, and the layout of modules matters a great deal: everything on board is done by individual airsailors who need to run around, ferrying coal, ammunition, water and repair tools - and sometimes their fallen comrades." -David Stark (Zarkonnen)

Fritz

"This game is about the daily routine in the Trenches of the First World War. You play as Fritz, a German soldier on the Western Front. Most of the gameplay is compromised of everyday activities like guard duty, getting food, talking to your fellow soldiers. Attacks are sparse, but deadly and challenging. The main aspect of the game is character development, both of Fritz and of his comrades. Each of them is shaped by interaction with others and the things they're going through. Your comrades can die practically randomly during attacks, but the longer they survive, and they closer they get to Fritz, the better their chances of survival as everyone helps each other." -Truceful Entertainment

Camp’s Not Dead is a full-motion video game in the style of old 3DO and Sega CD classics like Night Trap, starring beloved B-Movie actors like Greg Sestero (Mark from The Room), actors from the gaming sphere like Ashly Burch (Hey Ash Whatcha Playin) and being developed by Zoe Quinn (Depression Quest, Jeff Goldblum Staring Contest, Clone) and her merry band of game developers who make weird and interesting things including Jared Rosen (Hot Pepper Gaming, The Muppets). It’s Sharknado meets Sewer Shark meets Gameshark. 

And that’s all that we can announce yet, but there’s so many more surprises in store and the talent attatched to this is massive. MASSIVE. 

Stay tuned for dev blogs and all the happenings on development of this ridiculous clusterfuck here - the best is yet to come and we’re already in production.
