Willow

File the cursed. Write to Poppy. Survive the vaults.

A cozy real-time isometric dungeon crawler, adapted day for day from the LitFic serial Willow. Exiled to the Library of Cir, Willow Quinoline files cursed artefacts in the vault sublevels by day and writes a letter to Poppy each night. Sneak the dark with Magnar the gorble at your side, unlock the four elements exactly where the letters unlock them, and warm the whole building as she heals: 24 days and an epilogue that follow all 29 letters of the original story. In closed beta now for Windows and Android: testers get the Ever After Games launcher, shared world-editing with POPPY mode, and a direct line to the developer for bug reports.

Delivered

Three parcels. Three hours. No distractions.

A cosy story adventure based on the LitFic tale Delivered (Tales from Hearthveil City). Ben has lost every job he has ever had. The ink stall, the printers: they all ended the same way, with a distraction and an apology. The courier trial at Campfire Couriers is his last chance, and Basil, his earth elemental, intends to keep him on the route (when he isn't getting distracted himself). Three parcels, one afternoon, back by four, and a whole city trying to pull the pair of them off the job. Keep Ben focused, and maybe this time it ends differently.

Gearloom

Bolt it together. Crank it. Watch it run.

A contraption puzzle game. Every puzzle hands you a bare workshop wall and a machine to build: bolt gears into the brickwork so their teeth mesh, hang pulleys and belt them together, wire an engine into a motor, then throw the crank and watch the whole loom turn. Meshed gears counter-rotate and gear size sets the ratio, so getting a far-off shaft up to speed is a gearing problem, not a guessing game. Overload a gear and it jams. Puzzles are generated, so the workshop never runs out: spin a target gear to speed, light a beacon through a circuit you routed yourself, or carry a ball across the bench on the machine you made. Three stars for a fast, tidy build.

The ABC Kingdom

Catch Zebra. Save the Magic Letters.

A learn-to-read adventure across 27 worlds. A naughty spell turned Zebra grumpy and he has stolen the Magic Letters! Play as Apple (secretly a prince), Butterfly or Cat, each with their own power: roll, fly or wall-climb. Chase Zebra through the Forest and every letter's own kingdom: Butterfly's enchanted garden, an underwater fish kingdom, a jellyfish kingdom where you bounce on jellyfish and dodge their stings, outer space, a rainbow forest and more, each teaching its letter's sound in Big and little, all the way to the haunted-castle finale where you spell Z-E-B-R-A to break the spell. Fully voiced with real phonics, from finding ABCs to reading real sentences.

Pet Paradise

Adopt a friend. Love it lots!

A pet game for the smallest hands, painted in soft storybook watercolour. Adopt a puppy, a kitten or a bunny from the pet store, give it a name, and bring it home to a house of eight painted rooms. Your pets trot and hop about on their own, play together and become best friends, and you pick them up with your finger and carry them wherever they need to go: the kitchen when they are hungry, the bathroom for a bubbly scrub, the wardrobe to dress them as a princess, a witch, an astronaut or a big bad wolf, the photo studio to catch a pose, the garden for a walk, the sofa for a cuddle and the bedroom for bed. Real little voices too: the kitten mews and purrs, the puppy yips, and a lullaby hums along behind it all. More friends (fish, birds, turtles and more) are on their way, each needing its own tank, perch or cage. Nothing can be lost, nothing can go wrong, and no reading is required.

Pet Parlor

All the pets. The classic look!

Pet Paradise's chibi-sticker sister. The same house of eight rooms, but every one of the twenty-seven pets is adoptable from day one: puppies, kittens, chicks, bunnies, birds, fish, turtles, gerbils and hamsters, drawn as round little chibi stickers, with food and toys so cute they have faces of their own. Feed them, bathe them, photograph them, tuck them in. Nothing can be lost and no reading is required.

Cici's Farm

Feed the animals. Grow the food. Bake the cake.

A kawaii farming game. Feed the cow, pig, chickens, ducks, horse and sheep, milk the cow and collect the eggs, then grow wheat, strawberries, bananas, blueberries and tomatoes: plant them, water them, pull the weeds and harvest. Carry it all into the kitchen and really cook: crack the eggs, pour everything into the bowl, mix it round and round with your finger and pop it in the oven. Strawberry cake, blueberry pancakes, pizza, pasta, bread, cereal and a banana milkshake. Yay! Yummy! Fully voiced, no reading needed.
