Filipe "Subtales" Rodrigues • Gloomy Juncture

Gloomy Juncture is a neo-noir psychothriller and gritty hand-drawn adventure with tough puzzles and a point & click core 🕵️‍♂️ Solve puzzles to dive deeper into the troubled mind of a janitor, unveiling his hopes, dreams and desires. Main theme? Obsession. #indiegame #gamedev steam.gloomyjuncture.com

felt this working late tonight. how can anyone go for gen AI? every pencil stroke, every line of code, every polygon is a decision, and that's how it all comes together. the idea is just the spark and usually plays a small role in the end. "you think, AI implements" is an empty-brained sales pitch

just saw Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, and... oh boy! another masterpiece by Jane Schoenbrun also a feast for fans of classic campy horror and slashers like Sleepaway Camp and Friday the 13th... I would say it's an absolute must see for these weirdos!

In anticipation of the IAB EU Showcase at POLARIS, we published our Steam Curator list, featuring 33 games from the lineup. 💜 We've got everything from comfy adventures & satirical stories to grueling horror & action-packed multiplayer games. 👉️ shorturl.at/RkTGi Go wishlist your favorites!

Gloomy Juncture was selected for the Indie Arena Booth EU Showcase at @polarisconvention.bsky.social, and won a Travel Grant to Hamburg! Thanks @indiearenabooth.de for trusting me with this grant - hope to deliver! Oct 9-11: I'll be showing the latest version of Gloomy Juncture 🖤  See you there!

The designer of Septurian Might built a world he doesn't fully agree with. That tension is what makes it worth following. New piece for Systems of Play — a brand new section at Videojogos: Boas Leituras' Substack. videojogos.substack.com/p/from-novel... #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedesign

familiar faces grow at night... a couple screenshots from the surreal side of #GloomyJuncture (yes, that's a GAME KID™) i'm really hand-drawing every character and prop on paper... think it's worth the investment? #indiegames #gamedev #neonoir #indiedev #psychologicalthriller #portugal

What a piece. At a moment when we're constantly being pitted against each other, games that take the time to breathe and sit with what we carry... without turning it into something to be conquered, feels right and more necessary than ever.

Been sitting on some version of this trailer for uh... Half a year now, wow. No showcase ended up wanting it, soooo guess this will be its big debut instead, to celebrate today's chonky 1.0 demo update! Enjoy~ #indie #gamedev #gaming

2026 is looking pretty, pretty, pretty good for indie adventures. So many talented teams with such creative works to follow... and then there's Gloomy Juncture. Definitely worth a watch. #indiegames #pointandclick youtube.com/watch?v=AoF-...

A feel good comedy by Park Chan-Wook about the absurdity of consumerism that plagues our society by late stage capitalism. Lots of layers; conservatism, imposed societal roles, what it means to be a man... Poster #1 Team STEADY Poster #2 @jamesjeanart.bsky.social #parkchanwook #films
