In one week from today I'll be releasing Chasing Shadows at the Indie Games Night Market alongside lots of other games from indie designers. If you're at PAXU next Saturday, please come check out the night market starting at 7pm.

Here's a look at the box and cards from Chasing Shadows.

At last, the EN rule of "集まれ!ワニワニ団" aka "Gather Up! Wani-Wani Gang" is available! The dice & card game with casual rule but a moderate amount of strategy. Please check it up at TGM 2025 autumn!
