Enjoy a whiff of adventure in this nose-talgic journey, one inhale and exhale at a time!

In this 3D puzzle platformer, you play as Sniffer, a runny nose with snotty legs & toes. One unfortunate day, you are stolen from your human and discarded into the smelly sewers below, where every breath counts. Discover a hidden metropolis teeming with whimsical critters and curious creatures as you find your way back to the surface. However, all is not well—an unknown troublemaker has been stirring up chaos, and now your new subterranean friends need your help to restore their home to its former glory!

Embark on a quirky adventure and become one with your nosey senses as you unlock more snot-so-typical abilities throughout your journey.

Will you navigate the sludge, muck, and grime with ease, or will this olfactory adventure filled with peculiar smells overwhelm your senses?

Enjoy a light-hearted, comedic, and wholesome story that’s perfect for all ages, accompanied by a funky, toe-tapping soundtrack. As Sniffer wisely said: “Every sneeze tells a story. Bless you!”

Looking to meet: Potential publishers, investors, and to connect with people who can help us with tools and services we will need to develop our game such as SDK access, marketing, distribution, and localization.

Transcenders develops story-driven games that focus on relationships. We have two games in development, one in the concept stage with the working title Sworn, and one that is nearing alpha, Truer than You.

Truer than You is a conversation-driven game about finding yourself in a confusing world. You play as a person who is rented out for social situations to play someone else—everything from being someone's date at a dinner party to pretending to be the parent of a child. The player navigates these situations by engaging in dialogues and making choices that can lead to difficult dilemmas.

Sworn is a story-based RPG where you need to build strong relationships to liberate evil spirits. Throughout the game, you develop both your own strength and your team's, while also needing to play your cards right to earn others' trust and succeed in the exorcisms.

Looking to meet: Publisher for a future collaboration.
