Selected softography Ghostrunner, God’s Trigger, Warlocks Vs Shadows
Current projects Cyber Slash, Ghostrunner 2
The masked protagonist of Ghostrunner lives dangerously. Their single hit point means a single mistake can be the difference between life and death in levels that present as daunting gauntlets, sprinkled with trigger-happy enemies waiting to cut your life short. “It’s an interesting dynamic. Yes, you’re gonna achieve a lot, you could topple the regime, you can defeat everyone if you’re good enough. But at the same time, at each and every moment, you’re just one step away from failure.” For a second, we almost forget that narrative designer Jan Gasior is talking about Ghostrunner, rather than the journey of its creators. Well, regime-toppling aside.
After the poor commercial performance of its first original game, God’s Trigger, Kraków-based developer One More Level found itself walking a knife edge. However, a willingness to experiment, and to try its hand at everything from work-for-hire gigs to selling game bundles and publishing, has helped the studio carve a path through the volatile world of game development.

TOWERS OF AGHASBA
Watch Towers Of Aghasba in action and it feels vast. Given your activities range from deepwater dives to climbing up cliffs or lumbering beasts, and from nurturing plants or building settlements to pinging arrows at the undead, it’s hard to get a bead on the game’s limits.
