Araneid Interactive is a one-person studio building atmospheric games and local-first apps — small, deliberate things with more underneath them than the first minute lets on.
Fly the dying frontier. Gather what is left. Lead the flock.
A crow over a country that has stopped trying. Tap to flap, hold to glide, and the wings open against the fall — that is the whole of it, and everything else is nerve. Keep a clean streak and you will not be flying alone.
An orb-weaver throws one thread across a gap and everything else hangs off it. Each project here starts the same way: one mechanic that has to hold, proven before a single thing is decorated.
A web is radial threads for tension and a spiral for capture, and nothing that isn't one of the two. Small teams cannot afford ornament, so systems are built to be legible — to the player first, and to the next person reading the code second.
Orb-weavers eat the old web and spin a new one when it stops working. Nothing here is precious. A mechanic that isn't earning its place comes out, and the version that ships is the one that survived being taken apart.
A handmade shop with a back office built to keep up.
A first-party commerce site for a mature needle-felted catalogue, moved off Etsy without losing its products, variants, photography, or reviews. The public shop is backed by an operational admin, automated customer follow-up, and a scheduled Pinterest and social-content pipeline.
Four apps, one direction: idea, order, record, review.
A four-application pipeline the studio built for its own automated trading operation: one app reads and scores ideas, one places and defends the orders, one reconstructs what actually happened from the broker's own data, and one reviews the accumulated record. Every surface that can move money is locked, bound to a private network, and built to fail closed.
A journal that stays on your phone, and reads like a book.
A local-first journal with no account, no sync and no server to trust. Write by typing or by voice, and read the result back as a bound book rather than a feed. The storage layer is encrypted on the device and the app asks for nothing it does not need.
Round-based horde survival, drafted upgrades, four players.
A first-person roguelite zombie shooter: the escalating rounds and points economy of round-based survival, wrapped in a run structure with on-level-up upgrade drafts and between-run progression. Online co-op for one to four players.
A reading app that respects the deck and the reader.
A tarot app built for people who actually read: full decks with real card art, spreads you can lay out yourself, and a journal that remembers what you drew and what came of it. No horoscope engine, no daily-notification treadmill.
Questions about a game go one way; contracts, publishing and funding go the other. Both reach a person, and neither goes to a queue.
