Steve Johanson has disappeared and his girlfriend Sally Franklin has hired your detective agency to locate him. Even before you get on the scene there are signs that maybe this isn't just a simple missing persons case. Can you crack it? Explore Anteform Valley and its settlements, talk to its residents, search desks and files, and build up your skills as you collect clues to figure out what really happened to Steve and maybe even prevent it from happening again. Anteform is a horror / sci-fi detective story RPG in the style of the older Ultima games (Ultima I, Ultima II, Ultima III, Ultima IV, & Ultima V) as played on the Commodore 64 and 128 computers (although thematically it fits in better with the Worlds of Ultima games). Just like the original Ultima games, it includes a world view, enterable towns, and 3D dungeon displays. More importantly, it is a fully playable (and winnable) game with its own backstory, plot, setting, and characters.

Tower Noire is a small coffeebreak roguelike inspired by Cave Noire, Little Nemo, and Powder, created for 7DRL 2018 in PICO-8. I ended up reusing old, long-abandoned assets and concepts to be able to complete something in 7 days. Gameplay Tips: * The goal is to get to the 25th floor and defeat an enemy there, so plan accordingly. * Your starting equipment will very quickly need to be upgraded. * Passive effects for weapons may be more useful than additional strength. * Some passives affect positioning and can help you from getting cornered. * Get a sense for the room before running straight in. Some enemies can kill you pretty easily in 1x1 hallways. * Explore the room carefully for easy enemies that drop edible items and items scattered around. * Falling down a hole will damage you and also let the enemies take a turn. On harder floors this can do a lot of damage. * Move slowly.
