- Check out Kaptain Brawe, our beatiful hand-drawn adventure game! - 10 June 2026
We'd like to shine a spotlight on an adventure game of ours that we're particularly proud of: Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World. Originally released in 2010 and still actively maintained and updated today, Kaptain Brawe is a classic point-and-click space adventure inspired by beloved games such as Space Quest, The Curse of Monkey Island, and A Vampyre Story. Set in a quirky retro-futuristic universe, the game blends science-fiction with plenty of humor, satire, and a touch of darker comedy. Its world and storytelling draw inspiration from the socialist-era culture in Yugoslavia that many of us grew up with, giving it a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from more conventional adventure games. If you're a fan of classic point-and-click adventures, witty dialogue, unusual characters, and old-school puzzle solving, check it out! The game is currently participating in the Games from Croat…

- Progress update - 23 January 2026
Hi Everyone,We’re hard at work on the next update for Duke Grabowski.Upgrading the game to a much newer version of the Unity engine has turned out to be a pretty big challenge. More than 10 years of engine changes means a lot of things broke along the way—but we’re making steady progress.The game now finally runs from start to finish again, but there’s still plenty of small issues to fix. Some animations are broken, certain texts and voice lines aren’t playing correctly, and the intro/outro videos are currently not working.This next update, while containing a lot of changes under the hood, will be a modest change from a player's standpoint, and will serve as a starting point for further updates.The most notable changes we're planning for the next update are:Restoring MacOS support - the game will run natively on modern Intel and Apple silicon MacsCloud save syncingFixed multiple cases w…
