ASTRAL GUARD - TABLE TALK is now OFFICIALLY OUT!!!

The Astral Guard needs YOUR help! After a mission gone awry, the crew drift through space without direction, frustrated and indecisive on what their next plan of action is. It's up to YOU to help the crew discuss each destination and decide what's next for the system's most fearsome fighters!  Learn more about the world of Clostros with the crew as they reveal secrets, learn more about one another, and try and dissuade Astra from consuming various non-food items at her leisure.

Astral Guard - Table Talk is an interactive teaser for Astral Guard, my indie RPG title currently in development! This was made as a fun way for us to get to know the characters better and provide an interactive way for fans to learn more about the world of Astral Guard before they get the chance to officially dive in. We're incredibly proud of the work done here, and we hope you enjoy it as well!

Play time is around 1 1/2+ hours if you're reading at a regular pace. There are 14 discussions to be had, plus some events that will trigger as the game goes on, so make sure to scour the map for details!

It has been almost a year since you started your degree, and life has been monotonous since. You study, you eat, you sleep and you haven't made any friends yet. Everything feels excruciatingly ordinary… except for the feeling of being watched constantly.

Happy Pride! 🌈

Want to read a queer movie-length kinetic visual novel? Absolutely free? Consider checking out Sunshine & Roses!

Sam Williams is 50 and stagnant. When he decides to try some gardening to rebel against the monotony of his life, a chance encounter with the owner of the local gardening center shakes up more than he expected. Heath Rhodes is older than Sam but so full of life-- he should be everything that makes Sam feel bad about himself, but Heath's unabashed joy and kindness draw him in. As their relationship blossoms and Sam is contacted by his estranged daughter Daisy, he must learn how to nurture both his new plants and new relationships. It's not all sunshine and roses, but spring is in the air, and the tenderly grown flowers smell sweet.

Sunshine & Roses is a 20k-word story of sweet, heartfelt romance between older gay men that discusses queer identity across generations, the impact of the AIDs crisis, queer horror films, and never being too old to discover yourself and find happiness in life.

This pride month, consider supporting queer indie devs and maybe play this queer little story! It's completely free to play and it'd bring me and the amazing team who worked on it a little extra joy!

🌻Check out Sunshine & Roses here!🌹

Haunt a suit of armour. Reclaim your memories.

Rewrite this tragic ending.

You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess.

As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death.

But your story doesn’t have to die with you.

Play the demo:

Steam | Itch.io
