No public page yetAbout the label
loadbearing.games is the label for games made by mscrnt. Most of them are built around a real engineering discipline, modelled honestly, and every level is checked by simulated players before it ships. Sightline is the exception: a faithful port of a game we grew up on.
Every title is paid up front. No free-to-play, no pay-to-win, no dark patterns. Sightline is free and open source.
