future plans

I am currently building a prototype of Behold using RPG Maker, as a proof-of-concept. I aim to use this to create interest and put together a team with a modest budget to expand and improve on the idea.

Behold: Fishing Near Newmarket is the first in an anthology of “Behold” games — short, story-led game experiences that explore the strange, dark and funny side of “Middle England”.
