Mystik Belle

Pixel art

Momodora II

Interconnected level design

In Momodora II you explore a tightly knotted pixel-art fantasy world that opens up through shortcuts and hidden paths. It drops the arcade-style progression of its predecessor in favor of rewarding curious exploration.

Light Fall

Jumping and platforming

You explore the shadowy world of Numbra as a figure bound to a Shadow Core that you can summon anywhere to launch yourself, build platforms, and solve movement puzzles. Its appeal lies in the freedom of using that one tool creatively while uncovering a mysterious past.
