Hello bluesky, we're Intarsia Interactive!
We're a video game studio based in Naarm/Melbourne. We reckon making games should be fun, weird & authentic.
This year we've been working on a secret project (!!! you'll hear more soon) and now we're working on something strange & new

This is what I've been busy working on this past year!
