We’re absolutely blown away by the incredible feedback and the number of voice actor applications we’ve received on CCC.

Thank you all so, so much for applying! It genuinely means the world to us.

We’ll be selecting the official voice actors for the main cast in about three days. Stay tuned~ πŸ’«

Death is holding interviews for the ghosts before their big speed dating debut. Some are in favor… others not so much.

During Ryder and Mary’s date, they hear strange noises. A shiver goes down their spines as they explore the creepy manor...

Expect full splash arts per date in the upcoming VN, Matchmaking for Ghosts!

Public Demo Date announced soon. Thank you all!

βœ’οΈ...And when you look back after seeing the finished result? You realize that making the puzzle was the most fun part all along.

Bonus points if people like your puzzle, too <3

πŸ’˜I hope that gave you a glimpse of the experiences I create and the passion I feel. Want more? Shoot me a text🫢🏼

βœ’οΈIt might not make sense at first, but if the puzzle is constructed carefully, then every piece will contribute to the bigger picture: a whole that carries more beauty than the sum of its parts.

βœ’οΈDesigning a game is more than mixing a couple of fun mechanics with interesting characters.

It's about connecting the pieces of a puzzle in a fascinating and meaningful way. Every piece has its place, its purpose.

✨Pristellia
A magical world I began building from the ground up: mythologies, factions, geography, and character arcs woven around a central theme:

Justice.

And everyone believes they're right.

A lore-heavy fantasy IP I intend to continue in the future!
(art made by me!)

βš”οΈBlade Dash
A fast-paced action platformer, heavily focused on gameplay... but I couldn’t help myself.

Behind the momentum and combat, I built lore, character backstory, and a quiet moral thread. Just enough to match the pace.

Even speed deserves a little soul~

πŸ‘»I assisted in designing the narrative system, created characters, wrote branching dialogue, and built the tone from weird to flirty and sweet to bittersweet.

Some dialogue snippets below (preliminary works)!

πŸ‘»Matchmaking for Ghosts
A romantic-comedy afterlife game full of mischief, charm, regret, and unexpected love.

Yes, matchmaking. But for ghosts.

πŸ§ͺBlack Chemistry
A survival horror game about grief, obsession, and sisterhood.
You wake up in a locked basement. Your twin is gone. The house is alive with memory, chemicals, and deformed experiments.

Hey there! I’m madly in love with story-driven games, but I also go by Light.

Just a humble little writer who also does narrative and gameplay design, cutscenes, and pixel art.

More than anything, I love collaborating w/ people who care as much as I do. If that's you, please shoot me a DM! <3

Death devised a twisted fix for 8 souls short on karma, lacking bonds in life. Now, they’re stuck in a grim purgatory hotel, speed-dating through 5 eerie rounds to connect & move onβ€”or perhaps they'll stay awhile, it's not that bad, right?

Welcome to Matchmaking for Ghosts🀍
