My first game out on Steam!

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hello! I hope you’re doing well. In this post I’ll talk a bit about the release of my game Apparatus: Exanimus, as well as what I’m going to be moving onto next.

Apparatus: Exanimus #

I’ve released my first game, Apparatus: Exanimus, on Steam!

In advance of the launch I sent some keys out to some content creators, which resulted in a lot of entertaining vods to watch. When I was able to catch these streams it was also a lot of fun to heckle streamers in their chat if they failed a jump or something. Good stuff!

Updates and 10 games to get to know me

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hello!

In this post there’s gonna be some updates on what I’ve been working on, as well as ‘10 games to get to know me’.

Updates #

I’ve been working on the full version of Apparatus: Exanimus, adding new content and stuff like Steam integrations. Playtesting is happening at the moment and the build is with Steam for review—as soon as it comes back I will probably announce a release date, but I am hoping for early November. I’m very pleased with how it has come out, and I can’t wait for people to play it.

Apparatus: Exanimus & Updates

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hello once more! I have released a new game—it’s called Apparatus: Exanimus. I’ll write a little about that here, as well as the showcase it was in, and then give other general development updates.

Apparatus: Exanimus #

Apparatus: Exanimus is a walking simulator/exploration game with horror elements, aesthetically imitating (and explicitly pretending to be) a lost game developed in 1998 by a company long out of business.

I wanted to make something vague, cryptic, and clunky to play. I wanted to present a narrative to the player, as well as a few other gameplay elements, in a way that would require a bit of piecing things together.

Welcome to the site!

Thu, 22 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hello! Welcome to my website but with a slightly new coat of paint.

Prior to this my website was just a single page with some links to socials/games and some information about me. I wanted to update it because I’m working on a number of things now and I wanted it to be easier to follow these things and also spew information about them out into the void without being tied to a particular social media platform.

The Charity Shop

The Charity Shop is an atmospheric, surreal, first-person adventure game where you must use your camera to capture the essence of a life lived. To this end, you have been delivered before The Charity Shop, the place where people donate unwanted belongings—each carrying an imprint of the time they once shared.

It was developed for a game jam in 2025, being released in February. I am now working on a full version for a Steam release.

LSD: Revamped - Additional Dreams

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This is a mod for LSD: Revamped that implements some additional dreams - it’s intended to be used as bonus content for the game, as well as a demonstration of how the SDK (mod tools) can be used. It comes packaged with LSD: Revamped.

I turned some of my own dreams into an exploration experience a-la LSD: Dream Emulator using the mod tools for LSD: Revamped.

It was also used to make some tutorials for the mod tools.

LSD:R SDK

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

LSD: Revamped is a fan-made modern recreation of cult-classic PS1 game ‘LSD: Dream Emulator’.

The SDK (Software Development Kit) gives you the ability to make mods for LSD:R using the Unity editor. The SDK itself comes as a Unity package, allowing you to create your mod as a Unity project, using the tools to export it to be loaded into the game.

Valley of the Kings

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Valley of the Kings is an atmospheric point and click game I’m making.

It’s heavily inspired by early CGI and old Flash point and click games such as The Crimson Room, The Doors, and the Submachine series.

Spectre: Definitive Edition

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Spectre was the first ‘proper’ game I ever made - it was a very rough around the edges horror game (along the same lines as ‘Slender’) that was released in 2012.

For whatever reason, it picked up a bunch of steam on YouTube, with a few popular YouTubers playing it.

In Halloween 2020 I decided to ‘remaster’ it as a bit of a joke, and it turned into just a short reimagining of it.

The Mutated Reality

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The Mutated Reality is available as 2 demos of a horror game I’m working on. Originally these were made in 2020, but we still intend to finish and release the game - it’s on the backburner at the moment.

LSD: Revamped

Fri, 03 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

LSD: Revamped is a fan-made remake of the cult-classic 1998 PS1 game LSD: Dream Emulator.

LSD is an exploration game where the player explores surreal dreamscapes without any objectives. The dreams in the game are based on a dream diary that was kept for ten years. Originally created by Japanese artist Osamu Sato, the game was intended to be unlike any other game available at the time.

LSD: Revamped aims to make LSD playable on modern hardware whilst retaining the look and feel of the original game. It adds a number of optional quality-of-life enhancements such as customisable control schemes, increased resolutions, and a better framerate.
