Hello bluesky, we're Intarsia Interactive!

We're a video game studio based in Naarm/Melbourne. We reckon making games should be fun, weird & authentic.

This year we've been working on a secret project (!!! you'll hear more soon) and now we're working on something strange & new

I'm holding out on adding Noibs to steam until we have an announce trailer which kinda sucks when people ask for the steam page...

Turns out you can just follow @oddlark.com on there instead and you'll get a notification when we press the button!
