As you may know, we share our co-working space with our friends Adrien and Maxime from Studio Black Flag and Loc a.k.a Ukioq. Adrien and Maxime are still working on their upcoming game Orphan Age which is currently in alpha. It is a dystopian life sim game where you play not as the soldiers of war, but as the children left behind. There is not a release date yet, but they are planning to release the game in Early Access.
As for Loc, hes still working on his first commercial video game, Purple Noise Echo. This is a tactical game with a dark neon ambiance in which you play Node, an amnesiac entity waking up in an unknown place made of hexagonal tiles. The game is currently in Early Access, but all the features are in the game, and the lights and post-effects are much better!

Across the Grooves Linux [2.13 G]
Across the Grooves is an interactive graphic novel, set in a magical-realism universe. Your decisions affect the destiny of Alice, drastically changing her reality and allowing her to explore alternative destinies by modifying her past.
Alice lives an uneventful life. She’s in a long term relationship, has a stable office job and a nice apartment in the center of Bordeaux. One day, Ulysse, her ex-lover, comes back into her life through an old vinyl record she receives in the mail. When she puts it for a spin on turntable, she is thrown back into her own past, forced to relive old events. When she comes back to the present, her reality has changed.
Determined to bring her life back on track, Alice packs up and embarks on a hunt across Europe, following the tracks of Ulysse while trying to uncover the origins of the record. However, her journey gradually turns into a quest of self-discovery as she explores new parallel realities each time she puts the needle in the groove.
