Catachresis [EARLY IN DEVELOPMENT ]
An Educational Creature Collector
Our biggest project is the development of a creature collector based on the various disciplines in English Departments. This game is intended to be a hands on way to teach theories of game studies and English, but our first priority is making a genuinely fun and well written experience. We are very early in development, but we hope you keep an eye on this space for updates.
Introducing Tropelings
Tropelings are the foundation of the world of Catachresis. They are creatures that have manifested in reality from collective thought and human discourse. We imagine them as a varied and numerous aspect of this world, but our game specifically focuses on the Tropelings manifested through discourse in English studies and academia.
Paphos – #001

A skittish and weak tropeling that feeds off of the emotions of humans. It uses pathos to manipulate those around it and syphon more emotional energy to fill its cup. Once it has enough energy, it is able to develop into its next form.
