Skul explores the intersection of mortality, legacy, and the persistence of memory. We build mechanics that haunt players, systems that endure beyond death, and narratives that echo through the ages.
Mechanics that persist beyond death. Player choices leave echoes in the world, creating a cumulative legacy that affects all subsequent playthroughs.
Time, aging, and decay as core mechanics. Resources deteriorate, characters age, and knowledge fades unless actively preserved and passed on.
Games where failure contributes to success. Each death teaches the next generation, building a cumulative wisdom that transcends individual playthroughs.
A city management game where you must maintain a necropolis across centuries. Balance population needs with ancestral traditions, appease restless spirits, and manage the logistics of eternity.
A text adventure where you inherit a haunted library. Each book contains a life story, and reading them summons echoes of the dead. Your choices determine which memories persist and which fade to dust.
Present your case to the keepers.
