How It Started

My interest started during the COVID lockdown – just looking for something creative to fill the time. I discovered GB Studio and became obsessed with pushing its limitations. The more I explored what it could do, the more seriously I took game development.

Other Games / Projects

I began with a few horror titles like Neighbor and Bitterroot. After that, I started developing the Traumatarium series. The next chapters – Obelisk and Catacombs of Tracia – are currently in the works.

Fun Fact

I usually approach development from a graphic design perspective first. I’m drawn to the world-building and visuals of the Game Boy – it’s always the foundation I build from. The aesthetic drives everything else.

The Idea

Why I Made This Game

I’ve always loved dungeon crawlers, and it felt like a genre that hadn’t really been explored deeply on the Game Boy. So I decided to slowly build on it, layer by layer, with each new iteration.

What Makes This Game Special

Honestly, it started as something just for me – something I wanted to play myself. Seeing people connect with it has been incredibly humbling. That personal origin makes it all the more meaningful.

You'll Love This If...

You love exploring eerie worlds, figuring out punishing mechanics, and soaking in detailed pixel art.

Inspiration / Influences

Too many to name! But a few big ones: Mörk Borg, Warhammer Quest (1995), and classic adventure comics. I’ve tried to mash up all the nerdy things I loved growing up into this world.

Favorite Feature

It’s all about the moments of discovery – when you reach a new area and get to take in the world I’ve built. I especially love working on the background details that help bring those places to life.

    Great game

    It's very fun and good looking, maze and adventure game. I'd hope to get a little more tutorial for items in game, but other than that, everything was clear and fun. The cartridge is well made and I didn't have any trouble playing it on any console.

    Epic Dark Fantasy

    Not sure if this one has alternate endings or not, but I finally did crawl my way into the Gloomy non ending, seems my character did not reach Penitence. Still it was a fun ride, and an interesting crawl through a dark dungeon like world. And quite the expansion from the first game. Hope to see more in the future.

    Great Game!

    Stunning visuals in a challenging dungeon crawler. Great music and sound effects that don't get old as you try and make your way further in the game. Good for players who can enjoy a slower paced adventure. The gamebook that comes inside the box had some helpful tips while also just being all around well designed.

    Really fun game. Plays just like the games I had when I was a kid. Bring a pen for those save codes!

    A beautifully illustrated Adventure Game

    Fantastic little adventure game, a step up from the first Traumatarium, very similar but with more of an adventure feel. Fantastic pixel art. Loving the pink cartridge and the overall build quality of the cart/box is good. A nice full colour manual is included and a little key chain. Recommended!
