This is where I put the games I make. Two of them you can play right now, in a browser tab, for nothing. One of them is not ready and I am not going to pretend otherwise.
three so far, two you can actually play

The games
no launcher, no account, no patience required
01
WON
WAY OUT
An async maze duel for two. You each build a maze across the six faces of a cube, hand it over, then race to escape the one you were given. Fog cuts your sight to a couple of cells, so you solve someone else's cruelty blind and at speed. Fastest escape takes the round.
You build in a flat top-down grid. You race in first person, one cell at a time. The cube only shows itself in the flip between faces.
No one around? There is a solo mode. You still build a maze and the game builds one back, then a fog-limited explorer races yours while you race its. It only routes through cells it has actually seen, and it walks into your traps like anyone else.

DREAD
WORDS
A crossword that rises from the bottom of the screen and does not stop. Tap a word to read its clue, arrange its jumbled letters, and clear it before it crosses the red doom line at the top. Solve or be buried.
It starts slow and friendly. It does not stay that way — the scaffold speeds up and the words get longer. Three reveals when you are stuck, a bonus for clearing the board, and a daily global and local leaderboard when the run ends.
03
APPARATUS
Apparatus is a two-player tug-of-war online board game about the threat facing American democracy. It's the Political Machine vs the Resistance. Operatives against activists. Fascist control vs a free country. Build your system to swing momentum just in time.
It works. It is not finished. Currently rough in the middle third.

WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND HERE
NO LAUNCHER
The game is the page. Open the link, it runs. Nothing to download, nothing sitting in your tray afterwards.
NO ADS
Nothing interrupts a run to sell you anything. There is no run-doubling video and there never will be.
NO SEASON PASS
No battle pass, no currency, no daily login streak holding your progress hostage. Play it, or don't.
