Alan Goldberg's luck is about to change. He's a frustrated slasher films scriptwriter in the Hollywood of 1985, and Helen Westmore, an eccentric millionaire, will grant him any wish if he can find out about the whereabouts of the last, unpublished work of genius horror director Edward Keller, considered to be the scariest film of all time.
Alan will find his way amongst B-films production companies, VFX workshops, religious cults, and a small haunted town called Serena, the dark reputation of which began when Keller was last seen there.

EDEN.schemata(); is a multi-ending sci-fi mystery adventure game, featuring headless corpses, a sealed laboratory, a limbless android suspect/heroine, and an amnesiac protagonist. The game design and gradually UI change in reflection of your actions.
The steampunk-style artwork and the character animations were all handled by a single animator.
Story
“Nice to meet you... again?”
An android named “Eve” speaks to “you”, before a headless corpse apparently known as “The Professor”.
Completely devoid of any sort of memory, “you”, together with “Eve” – an android, and the Professor’s apparent killer – must uncover the truth of what really happened here.
Use your powers of deduction to unravel the mystery of this sealed laboratory, one revelation after another.
We hope you enjoy this all-new type of mystery – the kind that’s only possible with video games.
Characters depicted in beautiful hand-drawn animation
The main character.
Has no idea who they are due to total amnesia. Somewhat unreliable.
Eve
An android. As the main character regains consciousness, Eve is standing before the corpse of “the Professor”. The heroine, and also the prime suspect.
The Professor
Eve’s creator. Found as a headless corpse upon the main character’s awakening.
Kel
An integrated discipline interface. Something like an AI that punishes people for their crimes, but which for some reason speaks like a little girl and can be quite agitating.
UI and game design that change along with game progress
The UI and game design in general change in accordance with your game progress.
The story and UI come together, and the general game design gradually transforms, providing an all-new, almost magic trick-like game experience.

At the beginning of the project, I thought, "Is there even anything left for me to do in the world of mystery games that my predecessors haven’t already done themselves?” However, as development progressed, I reconsidered and thought, "Maybe I can realize the ideal mystery via the medium of video games.” The concept of this game is "a mystery that can be solved over and over again”. I hope you enjoy the experience of solving the kind of mystery that is only possible with video games – one that’s sort of different from other “multi-ending” games.

I consider the “ADV” genre to actually be a no-rules, cross-species battle. We bring you an all-new breakthrough ADV worthy of its striking visuals and writing.

What's the point of using hand-drawn animation to express characters in games, especially in ADV-style stand-up fashion? Well, I’d like to give any answer other than “This is the only way I can!”, so let’s say it’s that I'm striving to depict my art in a way that shows the pleasure and rawness of animation in an ADV layout.

A story is, after all, a combination of pictures, sounds, and stories.
Game scenes, controls, background music, SFX, story, visuals... I want to find out just what I can do using sound to fuse all of these elements together in order to tell a "story" in a game.
There's a demo available on Steam and Itch.GRUNND is a 100% handcrafted, fully voiced adventure game about travelling to a seemingly ordinary place right next to you that slowly introduces itself as surreal and twisted world and has it's own invisible gods, agendas, and order. You - tired after a dull day at your 9to5 job - fall asleep at the train on the way home. Next thing you do is jump out of that train into unknown station, and now need to plan your way back home. Surely enough, it's not so easy?
People you meet are slightly weird, and in the air there's an ethereal, omnipotent power floating just beyond your senses...
A bit of a different take on the point-and-click genre, with platformer-style built locations, fast travel, and multiple choice events introduced early on. This is not a puzzle heavy adventure and all puzzles are made without any nonsense or moon-logic. There is a rich story background for you to unravel; that is not only about you and the world - the people around you have their own thing and they are not here to help you.
The world is inspired by the works of Franz Kafka and David Lynch, and the setting has those taste droplets of Southern Gothic. This is not only the Protagonist's journey - it's yours as well.
Please enjoy the Demo, and let us know about your experience!
Echo of Starsong is a narrative-driven mix between puzzle adventure and space exploration. Asteroids containing a substance known as "Lumen" has become the center of conflict for the immense power they hold. Determined to find lumen of his own, a boy ventures out with a girl who can sing the song of asteroids, lending her voice to unravel an ancient myth hidden in the heart of space.
"I will find the lumen, and bring honor to the clan."
Exiled by his people, Lee ventures out in search of lumen to atone for his mistakes. But progress is slow, until he saves Eda, a witch who can sense the presence of lumen. However, what appears to be a blessed encounter, will end up becoming a lifelong burden...
The female protagonist - Eda, can sense the thunderous echos of lumen in space, and navigate their spaceship towards the asteroid it came from.
The male protagonist - Lee, can explore asteroids to locate their echo's source, which reside in magnificent temples deep within the asteroids, hiding their ancient secrets.
Throughout their journey, the crew will encounter people of all sorts. From lumen intel brokers, to lumen excavation enforcement officers. Some may act as an obstacle, while others will prove themselves to be allies.
Most people of Thousand Peaks have a personal story to tell when it comes to the conflicts that have ravaged their homeland. Uncover the troubled history of this solar system as you get to know each character.
The story's main setting, Thousand Peaks, has been in a state of chaos ever since the Lumen War. Help the crew travel through the territories of different factions, as they gather intel on the fabled lumen.
Echo of Starsong is a narrative-driven game. Although puzzles and resource management are involved throughout the story, gameplay is kept simple to provide an accessible experience.
So You Want To Be A Knight
After an unfortunately not-so-inspiring 2020, Crystal Shard is working to return to the adventure gaming scene. And after Celtic mythology in ATOTK, and Nordic mythology in HQ:THOR, this time the setting is the Matter of Britain: Arthurian Myth.
I'm sure many of you know the most famous story: there's King Arthur who's looking for the Grail, and a love triangle between himself, his wife Guinevere, and his first knight Launcelot... and that's NOT what the game is about. Did you know these stories have a cast of well over a hundred knights, with their own rivalries, monsters, and quests? Would this be a great space to explore in an adventure game? Omens point to YES.
Meet Sir Launcelot the Brave. Sir Sagramore the Just. And Sir Bob the... well... I'm sure he has a great personality! Against a supporting cast of peasants, fairies, and Roman invaders, Bob really wants to become a Knight; and the other knights think he's far too wimpy. And to prove them wrong, Bob just might have to save the kingdom first...
A work in progress; stay tuned for more news.

- Every quest will lead you to a unique world with its own story and rules.
- Visit mysterious castle dungeons, a drifting spaceship, a desert city among deadly sandstorms. You never know what the next world will be like.
- Jump between the real world and the world of a book to solve the mysteries set before you. Some solutions might only come to you while you are in the waking world.
Dive into vastly different worlds
As a bookwalker, you possess the unique ability to dive into worlds of books as if they were dreams. However, they are not as immaterial as mere fantasies. Bookwalkers can also bring valuable items from a book into the real world, and that is precisely what your job is
Hunt for powerful artifacts
Travel between worlds of books in search of legendary items of great power. Even though they are not as powerful in your world, you can still find buyers on the black market.
Meet dozens of characters and learn their stories
Visit mysterious castle dungeons, a drifting spaceship, a desert city among deadly sandstorms, and much more. Meet the inhabitants of those places and use them to reach your goal. After all, they are not really alive...or are they?
Find solutions to a plethora of puzzles, some quite… unorthodox
Some problems will make you think outside the box, and some will require you to travel outside of this world. If you are stuck, just wake up at your apartment. You may find something handy there that you can take with you on your journey. In a book, a crowbar may be just as effective against a lock as a key might be...
