Go play this. Do it.

Since we love NotHack Europa so much, we figured there should be more of it. And since we haven't found a way to clone ourselves yet, we did the next best thing and launched a sister studio. Oh, look. We already released something!

Malevolent Series 2, "THRESHOLD" is here... Months after the events of Series 1 (Blackstone) Arthur and John find themselves returning to Arkham along with the horrors they left behind... PART 1: "Dead Man's Mouthpiece" is out NOW! pod.link/malevolent/e... Please Review, Like & Share!

For Halloween, we answered a prompt to write a 1.5k short story about "The Secret Behind the Mask". You can read it for free on our website. After gathering damning information on a dangerous cult, Ran attempts to flee the situation. A chatty cultist has other plans.

For #SuNoFes, we're turning in a playable project but will be updating several things during the next couple of weeks. If you want to check out the project already, here it is: nothack-europa.itch.io/crawl-in-my-... itch.io

When they tell me to write a romance VN 😔 #SuNoFes

Our precious boi about to join a cult cause he thinks it's all a game 😔 #SuNoFes

Leonardo pls 😭 #SuNoFes

Having concept art for our #SuNoFes characters means everyone has to deal with the silly memes I'm making now 😁

Gotta take a break from #SuNoFes for a weekend to recover, so we're creating some wonky dumpster fire for #GMTKJam again this year 😂🎉 Using rottingpixels.itch.io and kevins-moms-house.itch.io tiles/sprites at the moment!

New VN idea: you substitute Dead Ends with Dad Ends, where you become a father 🤔 Someone must've already done this, right?

That moment I realized the most unhinged character in our #SuNoFes visual novel isn't the literal eldritch god of chaos but our main character trying to romance them 🤯

When you try to find a specific scene and ctrl+f for mind-slurry 😍❤️ #SuNoFes is fun so far.

Me trying to write romance.

Know your boundaries: Dating eldritch tentacle monster? okay ✅ Dating grandpa? not okay ❌ Working hard on our #sunofes plans.

Our pride month post from two years ago is gone because we deleted our twitter account, so here it is again: "Fun fact: Rose used to date a centuries old woman, trapped in an eldritch ritual. They met online. Happy pride month, have Rose and Emma baking cake!"

After our last two jam entries were essentially high effort shit posts, we're now working on serious things like POOMP and a project for this summer again :)

For our latest game jam entry, Jazz Bear, we named our MC Antonciro because he's an Asshole and Sofija is called Sofija because she's the Shopkeeper. Based on that, you'd expect us to call the Bear Bert or Bernardo or something, but two team members are currently listening to #woebegonepod so...

We took part in #DiscMasterJam. It's not our usual type of jam, which made it especially fun to play around with. For this jam, we built a visual novel completely out of pre-internet assets from the internet archive! It's silly and weird and we had a ton of fun! nothack-europa.itch.io/jazz-bear

Yup. We're preparing our Artur sprite for some actual consequences in POOMP. Perfection | Paper-thin was child's play for him, so we had to throw actual challenges at him at *some* point. How'd it get this far? I'm sure you'll find out at some point when we finally manage to release POOMP...

We almost missed the deadline for the “Worst Visual Novel Ever” Challenge 2025". Not because the game wasn't ready. I just had a busy weekend and almost forgot to turn it in 😅 Anyway, have a bad game, everyone! nothack-europa.itch.io/this-is-not-...

Bought a mystery bag 👀

What does it say about the content of our visual novels that two different composers now sent me tracks called "this is fine"?

I've been DMing my D&D group for so many years now that "We're trying to traumatize a person. Doing the healing spirit dance takes away from that" doesn't even ring any warning bells any more.

When we came up with Artur initially, he was some random minor villain in POOMP. Then he did well in his first scene. Then we added him to Perfection | Paper-thin. Then people somehow shipped him with Emma. And suddenly every VN I write, someone from the team goes "and now add an Artur cameo".

working on new renpy technology

Why is it that every time I'm done writing a jam project, my mind is suddenly on fire with new story ideas as I try to get everything else together to finish the game? What am I supposed to do here with how long VN development takes? Just...write books? 😭🤯

Putting cute dog sketches into our NaNoRenO 2025 project was the best idea ever because now I can watch @illumenos.bsky.social draw cute dogs all evening!

Our upcoming NaNoRenO game's name is Obletheon. It's called that because the game is about dad jokes.

Just found this idea from 2021 and it still feels about as relevant as it did back then 😔 Maybe this Spooktober...?

NaNo '25 WiP. I swear we'll make a river fit in there, just you wait!

Scrolling through our feed so far, procrastinating NaNoRenO 2025 work, and this is such a mood.

Having written Emma for so many game jams, I'm always startled when editing POOMP and remembering how much of a jerk Julian can be.

My editor: That's clunk. Pure, unadulterated clunk. Me: 🥲
