The CabinetWidescreen

Widescreen games

Built for a landscape screen. On a phone it still fills the display held upright, so nothing asks you to rotate; turn it sideways when you want the wider view.

A black plate scattered with over a hundred glowing stars, the third plate of a round with its clock running.Puzzle · Observation

Deep Field

Two plates of the same patch of sky, taken hours apart, alternating. Almost everything is identical. One star is not where it was. Find it before the plate is withdrawn.

Nightside

A moon base on the far side, with the lights out. Restart the four power nodes inside, then go down into the ice levels where nothing was ever wired — and the only light down there is the beacons in your pack. Something lives in the dark that will not cross a lit floor. Something else eats the light itself.

The CabinetPortrait

Portrait games

Made for a phone held upright, one thumb, no rotating. Every one of these shows the same amount of the world on every screen: a taller phone is not an easier game.

Emberhold

A wizard alone on an open map with a hearth that must not go out. Gather sap to feed the fire and buy your defences, but keep some back, because sap is also what you pour on anything that reaches the wall. Three war camps are already counting down.

Alien Moon Base

The first game on the arcade that is not drawn — it is rendered. Carry power cores across a dead moon and seat them in the module sockets, while the striders that live out there work out where you are.

The Long Fall

A gas giant has no ground. Tuck to fall faster and burn for it, spread to cool and lose the depth. Thermals offer two adaptations and you take the one you fly through, so no two descents are the same body. Deep enough down, the cloud turns hostile and the creatures become shelter.

Next DoorThe Studio

The same worlds, on film.

Alien Life Studio is the animation half of the same workshop: the worlds you play here, filmed. Nothing is released yet, and the studio says so on every page of its own site. These are what is on its slate.

Getting InHow to Play

There is nothing to install.

Every game here runs in the browser you already have. Arrow keys move, Enter confirms, Escape backs out. On a phone, just touch the board. If a controller is plugged in it works too, though nothing here requires one.

Progress is saved on your own device, never on a server, and every game can hand you a code that carries a save anywhere. That matters: browsers clear local data, and a game that cannot export your progress will eventually lose it.

Everything here is built in-house by Alien Life Creations, and every capability a card claims is checked against the built game before it ships.
