Hey Eyepatch Wolf 👋 Would love to be a part of your fake game experiment. My Pitch:
GHOST-TRAP!! is a "puzzlebox" or "Room Escape" style game, where you play as an exorcist tasked with examining the bodies/remains of the dead in order to help them find rest before meeting a fate worse than death.

These all look great! I've been following your work on Ember Hearts for a while and I think you've got an amazingly strong art direction. Icon work's tricky. You want each design to have character and be clear in its communication. I just wrapped up doing something similar for my game.

The Dutchy of Bedmouthe, so named for it's proximity to the 'mouth' of The Great Arterial River, and it's striking geographic composition. A city situated on a giant stone mesa, jutting out into the ocean. The very bedrock breaching the earth like the dorsal fin of some slumbering leviathan.
