Synopsis

You can't remember the last time you left your room. When you receive a barcode reader in the mail, you discover that the world around you is not what it seems, and must escape the bars of black and white. "Bars of Black and White" is a game in the room-escape tradition with hand-drawn line art graphics and novel barcode-scanning action. Is the world insane, or is it you?

Bunny Hill Horror (2019)
Bunny Hill Horror (2019)You have a problem: you're out of work, and the government is threatening to cut off your benefits. Don't worry- Oswald Mandias will help you. He'll help everybody. Once his dreams of resurrecting an ancient kingdom are realised, nobody will be spared his benevolence. In this visual novel adventure, you must outwit zombies, genetically modified monstrosities, seductive sisters and one very sadistic secretary, in order to prevent a dark and terrifying future for mankind. Oh, and get to the pub quiz in time because your mate Dave won't stop nagging you about it. Assorted Facts: Bunny Hill is a real place in Staffordshire, England and the outside backgrounds were photographed there. The interior background and castle shots were taken on a day trip to Tamworth Castle. Bunny Hill Castle was one of Stoke-on-Trent's leading attractions on Google Maps for several months until someone spoilt the fun and told them that it doesn't really exist. The characters are all Deviant Art stock models with the exception of Dave who is played by the game's writer Dominic O'Reilly Several of the items are real-life props, including the Father Ted referencing "Dreamy Sleepy Nightie Snoozy Snooze" Although the itch.io version is 13+, an uncut 18+ version of this game exists on Gamejolt and Newgrounds. Bunny Hill Horror appeared in the itch.io Black Lives Matter bundle (2020) which raised over $8,000,000.
Cathode Ray Sunshine (2018)
Cathode Ray Sunshine (2018)This is a short horror game that I developed for Fantasy Console Game Jam #3 using the Pico-8 fantasy console. This game is not suited for children or those who are easily disturbed. The objective of this game is to move around a desolated town and touch certain magic pillars. When you touch the pillars (it's a little finicky, so try to move around them a bit), a streetlight will come on near a lighthouse to signify your progress. You must light all six streetlights, at which point the lighthouse will light up. Touch the light of the lighthouse to complete the game.
