A downloadable game anthology

Caretta, City of a Thousand Sunsets is an anthology of urban pastel games in development. It is inspired by The Sundered Land by Meguey and Vincent Baker.

What is urban pastel?
Urban pastel is a term I've been using for a trend in art I've seen by primarily queer Asian-American artists. Themes of loneliness, heartache, magical moments, and longing for human connection are set against a city backdrop of soft colors and edges and drawn in a style that is heavily inspired by but not quite anime. Characters are often shouldering heavy burdens and complicated relationships, but are trying to live full lives in spite of it. They stumble upon moments that are magical that make life in the city, with all its struggles, worth it. Urban pastel has much in common with fabulism, especially the proposed genre of domestic fabulism (written about here in Electric Lit). 

An Investigation into the Twisting Streets of the City: A hack of A Doomed Pilgrim from The Sundered Land, Investigation follows a character chasing down an urban legend in the streets of Caretta. For play-by-post play online.

Unraveling the Strings of Fate Through the Bustling Streets of the City: A romance game for two players about a mobile clicker game that claims to use magic to match soulmates.

Hi! There are no files currently!

Hi! Sorry about that, I'm scrapping this version of the project for a number of reasons. I'll be releasing a rework of some of it later this year hopefully, but I'm not sure when. If you want me to send you the PDFs of the old files I'd be more than happy to.

Oh cool! Yeah, I'd love that. I played this a while ago and I was hoping to play again. It was pretty fun!

sure thing! what’s a good email to send them to?
