The Sleeping Problem (Free)
A short (~5 mins), atmospheric, audio-visual, horror experience about trying to sleep. But something lurks from inside the closet...
theRealDyer
A very silly man who's been very slowly making free hand-crafted video games over ten years.
I'm also a puzzle designer, playtester, rock climber, musician, and occasional streamer.
All of my work is created the long, hard, fun way, i.e., without generative AI, with a focus on handmade design, writing, and development. And always will be.
Featured Games
The Cat Sofa Problem (Free)
Sokoban-style game about a cat and its needs to push its empty food bowl under the sofa, made in puzzlescript.
Light Up (Akari) (Free)
An approachable set of five Light Up puzzles, built from scratch using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and running entirely within the website.
The Poop Problem (Free)
Play as a kindly snail that finds itself in one of the worst scenarios imaginable. 5-15 mins playtime.
Content warning: cartoon nudity, toilet humour, and other immature things a man of my age shouldn’t find funny.
Games coming soon (in active development)
Coastal walking simulator
A short 3D walking sim set in a weathered coastal cottage, being built in Godot, with a dynamic time-of-day lighting system. The focus is on atmosphere, believable environments, and an immersive narrative about regret, perspective, and accountability.
