Visual Novels

Our main focus are visual novels. We have created short jam projects with less than 30 minutes of play time, as well as medium length novels, running at about 90-120 minutes.

Short Stories

We have written several short stories in the horror, fantasy, and sci-fi genres.

Early Works

We take our early struggles with humor. While there may be stylistic blunders strewn across these stories, we want to keep sharing them regardless.

Maybe they can spark a tired chuckle or maybe their experimental nature is exactly what you’re looking for. Whatever the case, if you like what we’re currently producing, feel free to have a look at our roots.
