Worm Man (2021)
-The Fantasy of Human Wormhole Travel-
'The Most Innovative Group' Award Winner on NUVERSE Game Jam
A 2D-platform game features ‘Stage Switch‘ as the main gameplay.
In the year 20XX, humans finally mastered the technology of wormhole traveling and were able to travel freely in different spacetimes. On an unfamiliar planet, humans discovered that it presented completely different landforms in three different eras. Astronauts then utilized wormhole traversing technology to travel through three spacetimes to explore this planet.
Defocus (2022)
-Finding Your True Self from Defocus-
'Best Narrative Design' Award Winner & Nominated for 'Game of the Jam'
A narrative game features ‘Focus Changing‘ as the main gameplay.
A crisis of self-perception is an increasingly common problem. Individuals are often given multiple identities on multiple occasions and seek their own sense of belonging in a group life. Over time, the body becomes a shell eager to prove its self-worth. In this way, some individuals are involved in a wave of self-doubt and experience a dilemma called ‘personality out of focus’.

God's factory for human making is opening! You will act as a trainee angel, creating humans with faces that God needs. Simply dragging two people together will let them reproduce. Their offspring will have facial features inherited from their parents randomly. Some people may have facial feature advantages that allow it to have more possibility to be inherited. You'd better do it quickly before you piss off God!
