A dark seed has been planted

"Dark Seed", a 90's point-and-click horror game from the mind of H.R. Giger, is now ready for public testing!

In the game you play the role of Mike Dawson, who just moved to a beautiful solitary mansion to pursue his dream of becoming a writer. You'll soon realise that the place harbors dark secrets, and you'll have just three days to escape a fate worse than death...

The DOS Floppy and CD versions are supported. The engine also supports a number of localised versions Spanish, French, German, Korean and Chinese.

The floppy version currently lacks sound effects but all other features from the original game should be present.

The engine also has the option of using the "arguably" better floppy music with the CD version if you have both.

To participate in the testing, ensure you have a daily development build. As always, please submit the bug reports to our issue tracker.

NEW RELEASE - Welcome Home

Where home feels wrong, and you're anything but welcome

We’ve written a detective story and I’m wondering if anybody likes it. It’s kind of a detective story that “tells itself”.

https://www.loomers.world/derek/

You’re detective Derek Maker and you have to extract a confession by interrogating the suspects of an art heist.

We worked hard on writing the script (it’s not AI generated!) and we programmed an AI to play out the other characters.

Solving it seems pretty difficult, because so far nobody’s come close to cracking it!

Can you solve it? And do you think it’s any good?

The Roottrees are Dead on Steam

I just recently got a chance to try out Mouthwashing. I went into it not knowing anything about the game other than that it was a recently released, well regarded horror game in the "walking simulator" style.

I thought it was really good. Interesting story, nice late 90s retro visuals, good setting (small group of people stuck on a spaceship is always a great setting as far as I am concerned). I just wish more time was spent on fleshing out the characters and their relationships. It would have added some more intensity to the experience.

This was streamed live before but unfortunately had audio issues. This version of the video has fixed audio.
