Edelweiss Knights is a roguelite tactics RPG, where a trio of Saints battles divine beings in a world suspended between faith, folklore and mysticism. Blending retro aesthetics with modern design reinterpretations, the game fuses 2D sprites and low-poly 3D environments to convey the idea of the characters moving across different spiritual dimensions, in a dream-like scenario originated from nostalgia but aiming to deal with uncommon themes for RPG games, such as the belief, or non-belief, in a God, nihilism and the role of organized religion.
Players guide Saints Edel, Aliza, and Violet across a series of bit-sized skirmishes, using positioning, synergy, and tactical foresight to defeat the mysterious Godlings and forge alliances with not-so-sacred Deities. A node-based overworld offers randomized encounters and environmental puzzles, while visual novel dialogues allow to explore the bond between the characters and change the tides of battle, as some choices have the potential to influence the character's survival parameters.
Edelweiss Knights is an experiment in taking the team's beloved narrative and visual tropes from anime and games of the yesteryear, and reshape them into a toolset for creating new meanings.

Rope Session is a cozy educational game about Japanese bondage, that provides players with deeper context about the Japanese art of Shibari, the BDSM community with which it is closely connected, and especially the importance of consent that accompanies these activities. It highlights its ethical and safety principles, which are mostly absent in games or other forms of (especially mainstream) media. The game presents Shibari as an art form and a consensual act, avoiding gender stereotypes and any sexualization of characters that would present them merely as sexual objects intended for personal gratification. On the contrary, the characters are portrayed as two equal beings, without any objectification, with their own boundaries, personality, and motivations. As players, we take on the role of the rigger, and with it, responsibility for her own decisions, as well as their consequences. The character of the model is depicted as an equal entity, reacting to her own discomfort. The game also portrays human diversity, the queer community, and gender identity with the same respect and sensitivity. It's a mix of a walking simulator with elements of narrative, point-and-click, and hypercasual gameplay.

Award we said our setup would take 6 hours and need either a room to itself or a curtain. Fortunately the mystic arcave is scalable, and we can do a much simpler pop up setup where we take over the corner of a room if something like that would be doable. We're very happy to work with the team to make sure our install is streamlined while maximizing for fun and amazement.
