This game has been a labor of love for the last year or so. I've gotten to see my art evolve over time, as well as what I can achieve with Bitsy's built-in capabilities in terms of gameplay

Scavenger Suite is so close to being done! I finished the final scenes this weekend. Next step is to go back and polish the earliest scenes so they feel consistent with the rest of the game, then I will move on to the soundtrack. Follow big-field.itch.io to be updated when the game releases!

If you’re looking for the perfect game to play on Halloween night, I recommend CARIMARA!
An enchanting mystery story with a great balance of spook and sweetness. Also the coolest art/animation/environment styles I’ve seen in a long while.

CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs on Steam
