One of the nice things about being an #indiegamedev from Norrbotten is that you get to be an indie game dev from Norrbotten. View from studio (kitchen table).

Charlotte is the main character in our game, and it’s through her eyes that the player experiences and explores the camp at Deer Creek.

Thank you so much! 😊

#indiegamedev isn’t just code and nodes and vectors—it’s also banjo.

Todd Hido nomnom

Sculpt made in #nomadsculpt of Thomas Adams, a character in our upcoming point-and-click adventure, The Tragedy at Deer Creek. After a series of failed business ventures in the city, he heads to Deer Creek seeking fortune in the lumber industry, unaware of the consequences his ambition will bring.

News from the nest!

Rae Lynn Minke Drews will be the voice of our protagonist, Charlotte Gray.

Rae will bring The Tragedy at Deer Creek to a whole new level with her brilliant voice acting. We're looking forward to it!
