Embergarde
Embergarde is a one-thumb arcade defense: a lone firefly warden orbits the last flame while cool ash wraiths close in from every side. Tap to reverse your orbit instantly, hold to charge a flare burst — but every reversal resets your chain multiplier, so you must turn as rarely as you dare. Endless escalating waves, ember fuel economy, and a gothic candlelit-garden art direction.

Thistledown Hall
You arrive at Thistledown Hall the night the old owner is buried. The house is yours if you can find the deed by dawn — and the house rearranges itself every time the moon moves. You play by typing commands into a real parser, and above the text an ink illustration draws itself line by line for every room you enter and every object you examine. Nothing is pre-rendered: sixty-odd engravings, all of them stroke lists laid down by hand while you watch. Twenty-eight rooms, fourteen puzzles, four people, four endings, and two hundred and forty minutes of moon.

Othoy — The Crimson Cabinet Auction
A self-contained gothic curiosity auction game. Manage a twenty-coin purse across nine lots, read imperfect appraisal clues, compete against three unusual collectors — Mother Morta, Mr. Ember, and The Lorn — collect authentic curiosities, and score category sets plus unspent cash.

Vesperwing
A moth shmup through a candlelit cathedral. Your glow is ammo and lure: drink flame to charge your beam, but the brighter you burn, the faster the shadow choir converges. Three stages, three bosses, and a bell fought in the dark.
