A French-language project preparing made-to-order physical editions of independent games, complete with discs, cases, artwork, and booklets.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The project is preparing small physical runs of independent computer games rather than selling download codes. Its announced packages include a disc, case, jacket, and booklet, with production described as made to order in Europe to avoid surplus stock. The first visible catalogue entries are LoopTape Elevator, a 3-hour-17-minute found-footage narrative game, and LudiLand Noël, a title aimed at children aged three to six. The site also outlines an external USB CD/DVD reader for newer laptops without built-in drives.
