Pride month is complicated. If you’ve been following what we do for any length of time, you probably know that Rowan, Rook and Decard likes to make games that are about something. These games make a statement about the world, and invite you to play with themes and systems that reflect something important: resistance against […]
“You’re strong. Smart. Capable. The world’s set against you but with the Pistol resting on your hip or howling in your hand you can weather any storm. You’re a force to be reckoned with, and those fools will be left in your wake when you show them what you can do.” The Pistol is chief […]
“There are fighters and there are warriors and you, friend, are a warrior. You are a professional. You have earned the right to lead an army, to seize the reins of civilisation, to cut and stab and kill. In your hand is the Sword, the tool of a master, and the key to victory. Show […]
“You are strong. You are the strongest. The alpha. A perfect machine. An irresistible force. The world breaks around you. Don’t hesitate. Don’t think. Destroy those who would try to slow you down.” The Bludgeon doesn’t consider itself technology. Technology is unpredictable, fragile, and – honestly – an unfair advantage. It wants you to grab […]
“There is a line between us and them. Across that line is the Spear, keeping them away from us. Protecting the sacred from the profane. Defending right and killing wrong. The world is trying to swallow you and those you care about, but it’ll have to get through you first.” The Spear is, in all likelihood, the oldest […]
“The world is riddled with power that roils and pushes at the seams of the real, and it is yours for the taking. You were born for this. The world is your birthright. You draw chaos up from the roots and it is shaped by your hand, your mind, and your will. The world is […]
“The world is dangerous but you are more dangerous; you are the apex predator. You are calm; you are methodical; you are operating far above your base instincts. There is no wilderness or threat that you cannot tame or kill. The land is rotten and corrupted but you, paragon of patience, stand pristine above it […]
“It doesn’t matter how you feel, what you do, or who you are. What matters is what people think of you – and people think you’re great. You’ve made it. You’re a success. The world lays down a constant assault but you stand alone and unbroken against it all. Why shouldn’t they be impressed? When the […]
This world is sour. And here, sourer still – a rotten knot of rust and ruin, boiling beneath the real. A Hollow. Hollows is our upcoming full-length all-singing-all-dancing game which features: If you’ve enjoyed Chris and Grant’s work on Spire and Heart (or indeed one of the dozens of other titles to their names) then […]
Words have power. If you name something, you can know it, and if you know it, you can control it. Speak a word aloud and the ground trembles at your approach; the beasts of the land recoil and cower; eyes are struck blind, muscles wither and crops die. A chain around the neck of the […]
