Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it!
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it!
a neat little deduction game, I love the collage-style art direction so much and the puzzles were fun to pick through!
Thanks for the signal boost! The team and I who made this really appreciate it!
Too many fun mystery games is a GREAT problem to have!
So glad you enjoyed it! The rest of the team and I had such a fun time making this. We're all HUGE Case of the Golden Idol fans, so it was really satisfying doing our own spin on the formula.
ALSO! I had the pleasure of tabling next to @doodle.arcticpolygon.com with their awesome kart racer, CRITTER DRIFTERS and @itamu.bsky.social with their spooky horror game, MAMA'S SLEEPING ANGELS. Check out their amazing games too!
Had a great time on Saturday showing ARCANE INVESTIGATIONS at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo with @pigsquad.com. Thanks to everyone who came out!
Yipes, we're going to have quite a few games at the booth. Who's all going to @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social in a couple weeks?
I'm pleased as punch to say that I'll be tabling at the upcoming Portland Retro Gaming Expo on Saturday, October 18th with @pigsquad.com where I'll show off a demo of Arcane Investigations. If you're in town, come check it out!
The game is currently only available in English. I don't have translations planned, but it's something I'm considering down the road.
Me and a small team just made a "Case of the Golden Idol" inspired game for @pigsquad.com's Summer Slow Game Jam.
The game is called THE HOUSE ON [REDACTED] STREET.
Playable in-browser for FREE!

Thank YOU for working with me on this! I still remember seeing your first sketches for the characters and just being absolutely FLOORED at how incredible they looked. Thank you, thank you!
I would be remiss if I didn't shout-out the incredible artists who worked with me on this project.

This is my first ever Steam game, and it's been a long time labor of love. Check it out, and if you play it -- drop a review so the game can be featured on Steam's weird algorithm.
Check out the steam page for my first full video game: ARCANE INVESTIGATIONS!

Investigate the crime scene, question suspects, and solve a magical mystery with lots of twists and turns!
WISHLIST now, so it can be featured on Steam's byzantine algorithm!
