MECHWOLF

Suit up, Pilot! This robotic mech will take you across an uncharted world. Pit Walkers, Blood Flies, Brain Blobs, Dragging Blasters occupy your path. Unlock new abilities to expand your map, but watch your step- danger lurks in the dark.

Professor Space Games MechWolf in-game image. It's a scene with the main character preparing to fight an enemy. The character wears a mech suit and yellow shoes and stands in a ready position on a platform on the top right. A ladder will take the character down to the enemy, but a fire burns at the bottom. A creepy monster lurks by the fire below. It has peach and red flesh, multiple legs like a spider, and looks intestinal and gross. The image is made from pixels like a vintage or retro game rather than high-res 3d models. It's all 2d.

EXPERIMENTAL STORY

TELOS

Electronic spirits, Signals, float through the eerie Digi-Dream universe.  Nostalgic encounters in this after-life are carved out from relics, stories, and memories of a more earthly nature.  Stay a while; you feel no urgency in this ruminative space.

A screen shot from in game play of Telos from Professor Space Games. A drab backgroun that looks like a computer board scaled up, dark olive greens and black rectangles. In the foreground, an old computer terminal (80's style) glows with imaginary graphs and data in green pixels. Two silhouettes float like tiny fairies around the computer. They glow, one blue one pink.
