Araneid Interactive is a one-person studio building atmospheric games and local-first apps — small, deliberate things with more underneath them than the first minute lets on.
Fly the dying frontier. Gather what is left. Lead the flock.
A crow over a country that has stopped trying. Tap to flap, hold to glide, and the wings open against the fall — that is the whole of it, and everything else is nerve. Keep a clean streak and you will not be flying alone.
An orb-weaver throws one thread across a gap and everything else hangs off it. Each project here starts the same way: one mechanic that has to hold, proven before a single thing is decorated.
A web is radial threads for tension and a spiral for capture, and nothing that isn't one of the two. Small teams cannot afford ornament, so systems are built to be legible — to the player first, and to the next person reading the code second.
Orb-weavers eat the old web and spin a new one when it stops working. Nothing here is precious. A mechanic that isn't earning its place comes out, and the version that ships is the one that survived being taken apart.
A journal that stays on your phone, and reads like a book.
A local-first journal with no account, no sync and no server to trust. Write by typing or by voice, and read the result back as a bound book rather than a feed. The storage layer is encrypted on the device and the app asks for nothing it does not need.
Round-based horde survival, drafted upgrades, four players.
A first-person roguelite zombie shooter: the escalating rounds and points economy of round-based survival, wrapped in a run structure with on-level-up upgrade drafts and between-run progression. Online co-op for one to four players.
A reading app that respects the deck and the reader.
A tarot app built for people who actually read: full decks with real card art, spreads you can lay out yourself, and a journal that remembers what you drew and what came of it. No horoscope engine, no daily-notification treadmill.
Questions about a game go one way; contracts, publishing and funding go the other. Both reach a person, and neither goes to a queue.
