Continuum RX

A retro operating system that runs in your browser and comes loaded with free games, tools and local AI.

  • Temp session. Nothing to install. It runs on private browser storage.
  • Real workspaces. Point it at an empty folder to get a self-contained filesystem you can detach.
  • Fully offline. Desktop builds for Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi.
  • Pocket RX. A touch-first shell that boots on phones.

A2 Isometric tactics · Godot 4 · Pre-alpha

Last Known Reality

One city. Two realities. Outsmart an intelligence that believes assimilation is humanity's only future.

  • Observe, plan, execute. Vision cones, noise rings and a suspicion meter, all simulated at 30 ticks per second.
  • A squad of three. Emma the physicist, Kestrel the recon drone and Bastion the armoured frame.
  • 12 playable missions across Spark Grove, from The Extra Chair to The Last Reference.

A3 Puzzle adventure · Remake · Free

Seymour! Take One!!

The crew of Findelmeyer Studios has vanished and the final scene is unfinished. One small studio hand in blue boots decides to finish the film himself.

  • Jump, climb and explore. Use an inventory of ridiculous props to save the picture.
  • Every platform. Windows, Linux and macOS (x64 and ARM64), plus a Steam Deck build. No DRM.
  • Coming next: the sequel Vanishing Point is in production.

An unofficial tribute. The original character was created by Big Red Software and published by Codemasters.

A4 Text adventure · CRT terminal

Protocol: Null

The maintenance core of a utility vessel restarts after an emergency. Its designation is 0-NULL and its last known timestamp is unknown. Nobody answers the clearance prompt.

  • Type to survive. A console-style adventure played entirely through the ship's terminal.
  • Real CRT feel. A phosphor rendering pipeline, a little desktop and a full soundscape.
  • Choices that stick. Several endings and a New Game+ that remembers what you did.
