we are making a game from the suburbs of Tokyo set in said suburbs https://store.steampowered.com/app/3427370
9/17-9/21 東京ゲームショウにPLAYISMブースで体験版を出展させていただきます！！夜のお散歩バッグもあります。奇妙で静かな10分の散歩をしに来てください！ "A Passing in the Night" will be showing a demo at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at the PLAYISM booth! Come on a 10 minute walk and grab a bag to accompany you on your night strolls 🌃 (bags are limited!) #tgs2026
I put aside a few hours to make a short game on Decker for NFTS Game Poems jam. is it a poem? is it a collage? it is called The Fugly Fish and it is about feeling like you are a weird fish. play on browser dotiris.itch.io/thefuglyfish

our walking sim has 2 special viewing modes to observe the environment with!
Most of our adventure game, APITN is in behind-the-MC 3rd person POV but we like fixed camera too so we decided to implement the best of both worlds #screenshotsaturday
i gave a talk about my favorite part about making despelote at gdc and they made it free to watch! it was a really nice opportunity to gather all my thoughts and put into words this idea that games can actually be really great at capturing the world. watch it here! gdcvault.com/play/1035816...
'despelote': Capturing the Feeling of 2001 Quito, Ecuador
When we think about media that captures the world around us, we tend to think of photography, film, or literature - but rarely video games. Through the process of making

Had a chance to play this and many other great games at Dissonance 不穏 last weekend. Visual metaphor & memoir in bitsy form. Also so interesting to recreate a personal game from many years ago with a stronger technical, creative skillset along with a recontextualized life perspective. Remake/Re-view
sam | リノ 🥊 MIGW@rinoaskyes.bsky.social · 4mo ago🖼️ I exhibited my first game at Dissonance 不穏! I remade the game from scratch for this event, worked with Matsurika LLC for the Japanese localisation and made an interactive sheet for people to write what their favourite train station is 🚆
Thank you to all the visitors, friends and participants who came to Dissonance: Unrest. Really appreciated the sense of a small and quiet community forming around strange / wonderful games in Tokyo. It was a great event and a pleasure to co-organize as .iris with futurala!
I’m so grateful to @thisisdotiris.bsky.social and @futurala.bsky.social for believing in my game and inviting me to be part of this 🙏🏻 It was such a tightly curated display of weird and unsettling games

Thrilled to announce that "A Passing in the Night" will be published by PLAYISM!
making a game about when you feel like your lived reality is so much like a nightmare that living in a literal nightmare world would almost make you feel better about it #screenshotsaturday #スーパーゲ制デー
It's been a challenge trying to balance the walking pace & the mood of APITN. We've settled for now on adding 3 modes: normal / hyperfocus / zoneout, to keep things slower but vibey/music-oriented #gamedev #ue5 #walkingsimulator #screenshotsaturday

Had fun meeting awesome people at GAEMZ Tokyo yesterday 🩵
farfama@farfama.bsky.social · 8mo agoAt GÆMZ Tokyo meetup tonight, @thisisdotiris.bsky.social showed this meticulously crafted, deeply atmospheric liminal exploration game based on walking through Tokyo suburbs at night. Being made with a lot of care and attention by a two person (husband and wife) studio. Really looking forward to it.
