​Hi! I just released The Fourth Room III: What the House Kept, the third part of my supernatural mystery / psychological horror visual novel series. The Prologue and Chapter 1 are free to play in your browser.

3:17 AM. A phone lights up with a number that was disconnected twelve years ago: "Come say goodbye. They tear me down at dawn."

Bellweather House is scheduled for demolition at 6:02 AM. On the stairs of the empty house, someone has laid out a lost-and-found: a camera, a lyre, a surveyor's rod, a yellow raincoat. There's one object for each child who went in that night twelve years ago. And one step is empty, with a name in chalk: LUCIEN.

• Prologue + 5 chapters, 8 endings (4 character routes and a secret true ending)
• Timed choices: the house is falling, and it won't wait for you
• 13 memory fragments to collect, and hints for every locked ending
• Full English and Brazilian Portuguese text, about 25–35 minutes per playthrough

You can play it on its own. If you'd like the whole story, the series now links together in order:

1. Bellweather: 3:17, a free 10-minute first-person prelude (the night it all began)
2. The Fourth Room, first two chapters free in the browser
3. The Fourth Room II: Echoes That Remain
4. The Fourth Room III: What the House Kept (new)

Everything is also in one collection: The Fourth Room series (play in order). I'd love to hear which ending you got first!

​Hi everyone! I just released Bones for the Devil, a short push-your-luck dice roguelite. You can play the first three circles free, right in your browser.

How it works: you roll six dice and keep the ones that score. Then you decide: roll the rest again to push your luck, or bank the points. If a roll has no scoring dice, you bust and the Devil keeps everything from that turn. Keep all six and you get hot dice: roll them all again.

The base is Farkle, an old tavern dice game, with a roguelite layer on top:

• Points × Mult scoring with 24 charms that stack in silly ways (Snake Eyes, Pentagram, Hellhound, Gambler's Ruin…)
• Cursed dice you can buy: loaded, gold, glass (double points, might crack) and blood
• 8 circles of hell. Each one ends with a Deadly Sin boss that changes the rules: Sloth gives you only 2 turns, Gluttony eats every lone 5, Greed won't let you bank under 400… and Lucifer is at the bottom
• Runs of 10–25 minutes. Mouse, keyboard or touch. English and Portuguese

The browser demo has circles 1–3. The full game (US$ 1) has all 8 circles, Lucifer, Endless mode and all charms.

I'd really love feedback on the balance: how far did you get, and which charm combo carried you?
