Sunken Games is the result of two co-workers turned friends over their common love for games and game design in particular.
Here we host the games we designed collaboratively or on our own. All of them are projects of love based on our philosophy:
“We design games we’d like to play“

After years of talking about it, me and a friend finally officially launched our website and socials about the #boardgames we've been designing together since 2019, alongside the announcement of the first project. If you'd be interested in it, please check it out!
It seems that every couple of years since 2021 I feel the need to listen to this again. A piece of art.
Every now and then I tweet this link to Gospels of the Flood, the best thing I've ever written. Possibly the best thing I'll ever write. You can listen to it for free on just about any podcast platform. YouTube, too. No ads, no nothing. gospelsoftheflood.com
Gospels of the Flood
An audio drama about faith and doubt starring Peter Wingfield. Written and directed by Jonas Kyratzes. Music and sound by Chris Christodoulou.

Around a month ago, I attended #Gameathlon in Athens as a GOTY judge for the second year in a row! This is my experience and the #indiegames I tried!

💥Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is in production! 💥
It presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077— a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge.
❓When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter? 👀

I extremely rarely sit down and try to draw. But when inspiration hits, you can barely contain the urge. Thanks @expedition33.bsky.social for this experience of a game!

Just finished Expeditions: Rome. Watching the series grow from the first game was really awesome, but finally finishing Rome was a BLAST. Excellent game and cRPG, even though lower scoped than e.g. Owlcat's games.
