Pale dust. Distant stars. Strange games.
A one-person indie studio making strange games for the small hours. Some run in your browser, some you download and install.
Two strange games out so far. Deckrunner runs in your browser; Gobby's Portal is a downloadable build on itch.io. Catalog grows as new ones ship.
a roguelike fps drifting through a derelict space station.
Three procedurally-stitched decks. Twenty-six perks. Six weapons. Bosses, traps, and treasure caches you might not survive opening. Built solo for Vibe Jam 2026 in the browser. No install, no download, just one click.
3d action tower defense with roguelike cards and co-op.
Defend a magical portal core from shadow creatures. Five characters, eleven tower types, fifty-nine roguelike upgrade cards, solo or four-player co-op. Free on itch.io, name your own price.
Paledust is a solo studio. One person, one keyboard, building games out of dust and distance.
The aesthetic is pale and particulate: faded photographs of nebulae, sword-light through stained glass, the soft clutter of an old radio band. Genre is whatever fits the mood. Sci-fi corridors one game, fantasy portals the next, a little of everything as long as it holds its breath right. They're really about quiet. The kind of game you play at 2am with the lights off.
Currently shipping Deckrunner for Vibe Jam 2026, with Gobby's Portal in development on itch.io. After that, more strange weather, more strange worlds.
