Escape to Startown

Welcome to Escape to Startown. In this fully interactive game, you play as Emily, a young girl who woke up in a locked abandoned house. Once you have escaped the first house by finding all the hidden stars, you arrive in the abandoned town of Starling. In every house you enter, it becomes a new place to escape from, but be careful... the deeper you go... the more horrors there are. Will you help the mischievous frog merchant Charles, or team up with Pro Monster Hunter Abigail?  Or will you go solo while reverting Starling to its charming origins?

(Trigger warning: Violence, jumpscares, flashing lights, blood and mild gore)

Habitat 666

After you lose contact with your colonisation group, you are left alone on an alien island to survive with the limited tools at your disposal. Here you must face starvation, sickness, predators, and so much more on Habitat 666.

Slugger

Slugger

Slugger is a fast-paced top-down bullet-hell shooter game full of eternal action and fun! The game's core consists of waves made of "Hivoxes", which in turn, spawn enemies that you'll need to defeat if you wish to proceed to the following wave. Some waves contain bosses. Once you perish, you may upgrade your slug in the Skill Tree, and become more powerful, so you can get to harder waves. Once everything in the Skill Tree is maxed out, there will be an *Ancient* surprise waiting for you... Maybe you can use this power to become even more powerful... and defeat the final boss...

Check out the ACMI + RMIT Audience Lab for works by creators over 16 years old.
