Wonzie World (originally called Kissy Kissy) is a funny game about toddlers running around avoiding Kissies. Inspired by Constance’s grandchildren, the gameplay mechanics are based on what real children do – run away and build dens that grownups are too big to get inside.

Wonzie World’s playful storyworld is gender-neutral and non-violent, and aims to subtly deliver a message about children’s autonomy and body boundaries. Its co-operative gameplay counteracts common narratives of competition, and has intergenerational audience appeal. Level one was shared on itch during lockdown to spread a little joy, and the latest version of Wonzie World has a remote playable option which enables dispersed friends and families to play together.

Waking up on a beach, you find mysterious numbered messages in floating bottles telling the tale of a distant traveller. Sail away to find the remaining messages, discover who wrote the messages, and if can they be saved.

To find all of the messages, you must travel through the mysterious portals which transport you and the world back through different seasons. Explore the coastline while collecting stories and witness memories of events long since passed. Will you find all the messages and discover the fate of the lonesome sailor, lost in a forgotten sea?

In Hypochondrinomicon, four heroes have found themselves in another world with no way out, and slowly realize that their coincidental appearance in this world may have been more than just an accident.
