CELLBLOCK
VS STRANDED
The studio's two biggest titles, and the cleanest split in the catalogue: systems versus story. CELLBLOCK is a management sim with meters, tiers, ranks and a patrol loop — you optimise a shift. STRANDED is a narrative game with roughly 500 scenes across ten chapters where you mostly talk to people. CELLBLOCK is Patreon-only; STRANDED is free to start.
