Agent Squidge Splash Screen - title Agent Squid Licence to fail. Squidge floats amongst a chaotic array broken and breaking objects An anthropomorphic cat gazes at an beautifully rendered island landscape. Screenshot from the game Shore Leave. A pine marten with a huge sword strapped accross it's back looks at a fantasy village. A screen hot from the game The Chronicles of Marten. First person view down a cavern made whose walls appear to be the inside of a human brain. The cavern is decorrated with houshold items. The player's hands are silhouetted against the scene. A screenshot from the game synaptic.
