FEATURED TITLE 01

Starwick

A card adventure you play a voyage at a time. Sail from the Hollow Star to a painted world, walk its road, and carry a Star home before the coal burns down.

Starwick

Cards are the heroes’ own kit, shared Anyone cards, and what you pick after a boss. None of it carries to the next voyage. What the file keeps is the heroes you’ve unlocked, the Book you’ve stamped, and your best on every den you’ve beaten.

Turn-based battles Pick a card after a boss Story and Brave One to four, one device

TOLERABLE COMICS

The night the cardboard started glowing.

A late-night playtest goes weird, and the two of us get pulled into our own card game. It is an interactive comic: click the characters, make the call, and get home before the coal burns down.

THE STUDIO

The whole studio is two people.

PLAYER 1 Alakai, drawn in a red hat and blue shirt

Alakai

Son. Art direction, ideas, and the final say on “that’s not fun.”

PLAYER 2 Benjamin, drawn in a red hat and blue shirt

Benjamin

Dad. Code, systems, and the late-night balance passes.

The name started as a joke and then we couldn’t think of a better one. What we wanted was a game hard enough to be worth beating, without being the kind of hard that makes you put it down for good. Tolerable, we figured.
