Imagmination

Imagmination is a chaotic couch co-op platformer game for three to four players. During a sleepover, you and your friends must work as a team to find all the cookies scattered around the house. The quest becomes more exciting when your imagination comes into the picture, turning the rooms into adventurous worlds where the ground is covered with rising lava! Use gadgets with unique abilities to help your friends avoid the rising danger and quickly progress through the rooms. The goal remains the same – chocolate chip cookies! And remember, under no circumstances – do not touch the floor!

This game was awarded the Public Choice Award and Best Level Design at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.

The Last Vampire

A social deduction game based on roles given via a random draw of cards. A group of survivors must interrogate everyone as the days go by to figure out which one of them is secretly a vampire. They can use special game cards to argue and make their public deductions while there might be someone who is conspiring against the crowd. The game can be played in groups of 5-8 people. We imagine this game as a fun party game improving on the formulae shown in other games in the genre.

This game was awarded Best Game Design at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.
