We wanted to give people a chance to bowl in ways that would be impossible, illegal, or extremely impractical.
Pixel Noir
Studio: SWDTech Games
Description: There was something rotten in that old hospital. You were just following your instincts that night. But, it was your pride that killed those people, including your partner on the force. With nothing to exonerate you, on a temporary insanity defense, they threw the book at you. For ten years, you were haunted by unanswered questions, frightened by what you saw, and what you did. Now you’re scraping by as a private eye, operating out of a crummy apartment. One day, a strange case comes along, giving you an opportunity to clear your name once and for all. With your sanity at stake and rent to pay, how can you refuse? Solve a wide variety of mysteries as Pinnacle City’s cheapest Private Eye! From missing pets to murder investigations, your detective skills will either earn you fortune or face punches. Home to a wretched hive of scum and villainy, Pinnacle City is littered with black market trade, grafters, and players of all kinds. From the shadowy alleys of The Sprawl to the sleek skyscrapers of Uptown, each district holds its own charm and mysteries to uncover! Each member of your entourage has their own distinctive personality and skill set. Some will follow you into battle. Others will try and undermine you. Who will you choose for your lineup and will they be with you until the bitter end? Bad guys can jump out at you from anywhere and each gang in Pinnacle City has its own devastating attacks! But you can beat ’em back in turn-based combat using timed hits and blocks to increase or reduce damage. You can also partner with your entourage members to unleash devastating combo attacks! Manuscripts teach entourage members a wide variety of skills. Learned skills can then be upgraded by skill points you get from solving major cases. With each upgrade, skills become more powerful, and your entourage can take on even more powerful enemies. Tune up your gear with modifications to fit your play style. Experiment with different mods and ammo types to deal varying types of damage and inflict status effects on enemies. Whether you prefer a technical approach or go in guns blazing, modifying your gear is key as you battle your way through the city.

Dragonslayer Role-playing Game
Studio: Slayer Games
Description: Dragonslayer is a high fantasy game where the players take the role of Dragonslayers, humans infused with draconic powers. The players being Slayers lets them start off at level 1 without being ‘useless,’ but not already powerful. As Dragonslayers, every character has the ability to learn and cast magic, regardless of what class. This allows for some pretty interesting characters. The overall feel for Dragonslayer is that of a show. The player characters are the leads in the story, with the rules coming together to keep the game flowing and the focus on the PCs. Combat is done without turns and initiatives, but as a show with each character acting simultaneously and rolling when their action is complete. Interactions between characters are encouraged to be dynamic in a number of ways, including the option of Social Combats. With the feel of a show guiding the game, you get a fantasy setting with a feeling of realism and danger. The game is easy-to-learn, hard to master. There is one simple core mechanic and 99% of your rolls are done using this mechanic. However, we wanted the game to be a free expression of your characters, so customizability is tied to the game at its core. Even in the dice pool mechanic, you have choice. Classes don’t restrict character builds, allowing you to build your character how you want and ‘animate’ them in game to fit your vision. Unique and easy-to-learn rules, with lots of customization makes for a great show for every gamer! Dragonslayer keeps the game exciting for you and your friends.
