Our gameplay loop remains consistent throughout the game, but not so with the hazards and world unique features.

In world 3, you will meet a rewarding but deadly ring.

Screenshot from the website of The Elision Effect, showing game screenshots, a description as well as the 65% sale.

The last person finds themselves in an empty office. Not knowing what made everyone abandon these liminal spaces, they look for an exit.

The Elision Effect is a short surreal puzzle game.
You might be the last person in this building. Empty offices and locked doors. You try to keep moving.

The place seems off, like it shouldn’t exist. It smells of old coffee stains, the fluorescent lights buzz, and corporate jazz plays on crappy speakers.

You long for fresh air.
An exit must be near.

Yesterday, I moved out from the town I spent the last 5 years in, where I changed into the person I am today.

Into a new town for a new life chapter. I'm excited for the future

Waiting for Gonad shows the waiting rooms that are haunting me. The perspective on these 3D photographic dioramas can be playfully manipulated.

Lil indie game by @teamakes.games and something that was just a joy to play. Definitely had trouble with a puzzle (which has been reworked since I played, dw) but this was a nice little game. I actually plan to stream it again in the near future~
