Read full descriptionHide full description
The night ferry MV Halcyon is hours from shore when the fog closes in and the radio dies. In the second-class lounge, a man sits dead in a velvet chair, and the note in your pocket, written in a child's hand, says it plainly: "Six boarded. One is lying. One is already dead." You are Adrian Vale, and you have until dawn to find the truth. Question the widow, the captain, the doctor who signed the lie, the accountant, and the quiet man in the corner. Pin your clues to the deduction board, name your suspect — or refuse to, and live with the ending you earn. But the Halcyon keeps its own schedule. While you talk, doors close elsewhere on the ship. No two crossings unfold the same way. And when the night ends... it may not end at all. FEATURES - A branching mystery with 20 distinct, fully written endings to collect - A living ship: events unfold off-screen on a night clock, with or without you - A deduction board and an Act III of hard choices: accuse, walk away, or take it to shore - New Game+: the night remembers what you learned, unlocking hidden truths - Save & resume, a clue journal, and spoiler-free hints toward endings you haven't found - Atmospheric noir presentation, hand-drawn scenes, original ambience - Fully localized in 7 languages: English, Türkçe, Español, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Português - A premium, one-time purchase. No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. No data collection. Every choice narrows the truth. Every crossing is your last.
Pickle Machines

Some machines do one job. Pickle Machines do it the silliest way possible. GOOD FOR BUSY BRAINS Every puzzle rewards a little planning and a lot of what if. It is gentle problem solving that feels like play, not homework. Kids build the logic without noticing. Grown ups get quietly hooked too. Every level gives you a goofy goal, pop the balloon or drop the ball in the bucket, and a box of parts. You build a wild chain reaction to make it happen. Press Run, watch it go, laugh when it flops, tweak it, and win. WHAT YOU BUILD WITH Trampolines, fans, seesaws, conveyor belts, magnets, cannons, portals, dominoes, candles, spinning wheels, ropes, pulleys, scissors, gears, balloons, cartoon bombs, and a cat. Twenty six parts, each with its own trick. HOW IT PLAYS Tap a part to drop it in. Drag it, spin it, flip it. Hit Run and the whole machine springs to life. Edit puts every part back exactly where it was, so kids can experiment with zero fear of breaking anything. No clock. No wrong way to tinker. MADE TO BE KID SAFE No ads. No in-app purchases. No pop-ups asking for money. Nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for. It works offline, anywhere, and progress saves right on the device. THIRTY FOUR HANDMADE LEVELS Twenty four play with the phone sideways and ten play with it upright. Each one teaches a new part, then dares you to combine them. There is a test bench too, running every single part at once. Build it. Run it. Watch the chaos work.
