Haroldware, est. one desk
A Szeged-based solo developer presents four games, from a faithful 450-section gamebook adaptation to a fungal-exoplanet colony sim and a petri-dish roguelike.
Field notes
The catalog covers four distinct game formats rather than a single product line: a preserved branching gamebook, a quota-based browser RPG, a colony strategy game, and a microbial roguelike deckbuilder. Heart of Ice retains all 450 sections and the original illustrations while adding checkpoints, automated dice, offline play, and adjustable text. Xenobiome Command is scoped around 17 story maps, four asymmetric factions, 38 structures, and 127 incidents, though its listed release remains forthcoming.
