Swing Swing Submarine

Your roommate Fael vanished into another dimension.
And now, it's up to you to find him

All he left behind are lots of puzzles and... phasmes?🪲

Surely they have nothing to do with Fael's dissapearance, right? 👀
#LookingForFael #GameDev

One week until gamescom… and Fael is still missing.

Luckily, you’ll be able to start the search soon 👀

Looking for Fael is playable at Indie Arena Booth — bring your brain, your curiosity, and maybe a retro console. Just in case. 🤓

The Great Answer, by Spotline & Morusque 86 track album

In 2017, we've tried to develop a game called 'The Great Answer'. The project was canceled due to a lack of money. But thanks to @morusque.bsky.social and @spotline.itch.io, the soundtrack that have been created for this project is now available online.
