Summary
Third-person action game. After development ended, I continued development individually and made significant improvements to bring the game to a higher level of polish.
A young person traveled to an isolated island for work, only to be imprisoned by their supposed employers and exploited for labor.
The player must fight their way past their violent captors and up to the lavish mansion high above the work camp to issue justice to those responsible.

Asymmetrical board game for 4 players about medieval inventors modifying machines to stop a monster from destroying the continent.
A single player takes control of 1 of 3 possible monsters with their own unique abilities with the goal of destroying the land.
The other three players each select a war machine and continuously add on parts and manage several resources as they try to put a stop to the foul creature.

Each environment alters battle, and tons of effects pile up to create ever evolving battles throughout the game.
