Layers of Lairs
Projects
Project: Bridge Troll
Layers of Lairs Our debut interactive title, Layers of Lairs, is an immersive, first-person turn-based RPG designed to restore depth and agency to the genre. Blending rich narrative storytelling with strategic dual-stack tunnel navigation, turn-based combat, and survival-horror elements, the game follows players deep into subterranean caverns where every decision carries genuine weight. It captures the personal, consequence-driven choices of classic role-playing games while delivering modern visual immersion and accessible, handcrafted world-building.
Project Bridge Troll Our inaugural documentary initiative, Project Bridge Troll, captures the unvarnished stories of military veterans living in Cumberland, Maryland. Moving past sanitized media tropes, the project weaves personal oral histories—covering the realities of service, moral clarity, and the quiet friction of transitioning back into civilian life—against the backdrop of Allegany County's industrial and regional history. It serves as both a cinematic documentary and a preserved living history archive dedicated to giving voice to everyday service members.
