Citadel
“It is symbiotic. It has to be. The relationship between a citadel and its Hermit Titian. We have to trust that it's symbiotic. We have to trust that it does not hate us for what we must do to survive. Our lives are entwined with that of the titan. If it were to die, we would be left adrift in the cold vacuum of space; incapable of our hunts, slowly drifting to our demise..”

99 Nights in the Forest
In the world of survival horror, true terror often comes not from a monster you can defeat, but from one you can only escape. In 99 Nights in the Forest, this philosophy is embodied by The Deer, the game's central and unkillable antagonist. This creature is more than just a simple enemy; it is a force of nature, a relentless embodiment of the forest's predatory darkness that transforms every night into a heart-pounding fight for survival.

One Door, Two Worlds
I first noticed the door on a day when everything else in my life felt like it was breaking apart. It wasn’t supposed to be there. I’d lived in that apartment for two years, knew every crack in the ceiling, every stubborn drawer that refused to close. Yet suddenly, in the hallway between my bedroom and the bathroom, stood a door I had never seen before.

Rhythms of the coast
It was a sweltering summer in Karachi, the kind of heat that made the air shimmer like a mirage on the Arabian Sea horizon. Aisha, with her wild curls and bright smile, was navigating the bustling streets of Clifton, lost in thoughts of the upcoming university semester. She had just turned twenty, and the world felt like an endless possibility, much like the sprawling city itself with its mix of modern skyscrapers and old colonial architecture.

The Mapmaker of Sleepless Cities
There are cartographers of oceans and of stars, but I have chosen a different trade. I am a mapmaker of the territories we carry within us — the sprawling, sleepless cities of the mind. I chart the highways of thought, the quiet suburbs of nostalgia, and the bustling downtown districts of our anxieties. For years, I believed these lands were invisible, impossible to document. Then, I began to paint them. What you see here are not mere pictures; they are recovered maps of a world we all inhabit but rarely dare to explore. Let us take a journey together.
