Dead Air: the radio booth live on air, with the transmitter gauge, switchboard and record deck
Playable nowBrowserNarrative radio sim

Dead Air

You keep the last working AM transmitter on the Lake Erie shore. By night you go live, and what you broadcast changes the town. Then a second station starts broadcasting on your frequency.

Six nights. 385 voiced lines. Storms, Morse code, a switchboard of callers, and a town that remembers every broadcast. Best in Chrome or Edge on a desktop, with headphones.

Y2K: Bio-Punk: the player faces the Dial-Up Queen and her summoned roaches in a neon server pit under a MEGABYTE ELECTRONICS sign
Demo coming soonWindowsIsometric ARPG

Y2K: Bio-Punk

The millennium bug was biological. Skate a flooded shopping mall with a baseball bat and a Walkman, grind the rails, and swap mixtapes to reshape your stats mid-fight.

The vertical slice is one complete run: neon cicadas, sludge roaches and kiosk turrets, levels and a character sheet, then the three-phase Dial-Up Queen in her server pit. About 15 minutes.

Godot 4.3 and C++ GDExtension.

How we build

Every game here is developed with Claude Code. Each project is planned, built, tested and documented with Claude, with an agent guide in every repository.

On Y2K: Bio-Punk, Claude Code directs the build: it writes the work briefs, reviews and merges every change, and checks it against 25 automated test suites and a smoke test of the packaged game before anything counts as done.

We say where our assets come from. Dead Air's voices are rendered offline with the open Kokoro-82M model, and its music is public-domain 78s with full provenance. Y2K: Bio-Punk's 3D models are generated with Meshy, and its mixtapes with Google Gemini.

Dead Air is our first release: free to play in the browser today, with a commercial edition planned for itch.io in early 2027 and Steam later that year. A free Windows demo of Y2K: Bio-Punk is next.
