Games worth losing hair over. Our first, Hurricane, is coming soon.

Small studio. Long nights. Hand-built games.

We’re an independent studio making the games we’d stay up all night to play. Every room, every creature and every note is made by hand, by us, mostly after midnight. Our first game is nearly ready.

A moth hatches an hour after the rest of the valley has set off up the hill. She has one night to race an old moth to the top, because whoever gets there last stays behind for a year to keep the marks.

Until first light.

  1. Underground among roots: a pale cocoon hangs from the earth ceiling, lit from inside, as the moth breaks out.
    00:40, Dock Roots. She hatches an hour late.
  2. A teal wood by a stream under a full moon: the small pale moth flutters over a bank of moss beside a giant dock leaf.
    00:40, Beck Bottom. Everyone else has already gone up.
  3. Night over a brick chimney stack in the village, honeysuckle climbing past it, the moth hovering in its own small light while a bat drops from the roof.
    00:55, The Lane. Over the village roofs.
  4. A dark cottage windowsill with a plant pot and a jar: a black cat stalks along it towards the lit moth.
    00:58, The Lane. Something is watching from the sill.
  5. A moonlit valley: a stone railway viaduct crosses the dark fields below the hills.
    01:25, The Line. The railway on the valley side.
  6. A violet wood at night: the moth caught at the edge of a huge silver web while a big orb-weaver spider waits in its centre.
    01:35, Hollin Bank. The orb-weaver keeps her web.
  7. A wire fence across the moor in blue moonlight, tall grass behind it; the moth glows on the wire as a barn owl swoops in.
    04:25, The Tops. Across the moor on the wire.
  8. Sunrise over a sea of cloud, the moth standing on top of a rock pillar crowned with heather.
    04:40, The Top. First light.

Coming soon.

Up the valley, in one night.

From a ditch by the beck, through a village lane, along a railway on the valley side, through a steep wood and an old lead mine, and over the open moor in a thunderstorm, to the trig pillar on the top. The church clock strikes the hours as she climbs.
