Vision Quest

Welcome to Vision Quest
We take the role as a young traveler, searching a mystical forest for wisdom and blessings from the spirits that inhibit it. But be wary, the night is dark and many things lurk in the shadows.

In this race game,
you will work against other players to explore the forest before the nightmares consumes who ever remains. Use items to your advantage, meet strange creatures and make it out in one piece.

Come back as a spirit and help or harrass those remaining in the forest.

Vision Quest was made to ponder the question: do our choices matter? Or does randomness dictate our lives?The artwork was inspired by the culture of Algonquin peoples and to celebrate their deep connection with nature.Purchase Vision Quest Here

Welcome to Ilu
You are a servant of the Great Almighty and are tasked with gathering up as many humans as you can in your garden paradise.

In this card game,
you will work against other players to deliver humans, cast beasts into Sheol and call upon powerful angels and demons.

Draft a shared deck and leverage the odds by working towards an ending that benefits you the most. Will you triumph in heavenly glory?

Ilu was made to celebrate the unity of the Abrahamic faiths of Judiasm, Islam and Christanity. It drawns on scripture, apocrypha and oral stories to create a rich cast of characters whether they be divine, demonic
or in-between.
