Recreational Electronic Works

The game is a retrofuturistic resource management game set in an alternate reality of Victorian London. In this timeline, games and their industry have already existed for some time, and the player takes charge of a studio and its resources. They need to ensure they’re producing enough games, creating revenue, keeping track of public opinion, and managing the workforce.

Moccoletti

Moccoletti is a 2-4 player arena-style game with full controller support, where players will run around a garden maze, trying to deplete one another’s candle by shooting gusts of wind, navigating, dodging, or hiding in the dark to avoid the same happening to them. The game uses a pixel-art style, heavily relying on a mix of theatre and carnival aesthetics. The players choose between a wide selection different carnival mask as characters; and a range of weapons which all shoot wind in different ways (a hand fan is slow but hits a wider angle, while a hair dryer shoots in a straight line but has to recharge for a while to be useable again). The players can choose between different game modes for a free-for-all, or a team-based experience for a longer series of games to blow each other away in a carnival evening of chaos and mayhem!
