September 23rd, 2026 - Wizards In The Sewer is a first-person shooter without any guns. Instead players mix and match elemental ammo into wands: fire and ice make steam, add rubber for bounce or bubbles for antigravity - twelve base magic types combining into thousands of possibilities. Adventure through procedurally generated sewers, subways, glitching forests and dystopian futures, solo or online co-op with up to four players. Dying lands you back to your backyard where you can plant the seeds dropped by enemies. Grow fruits and vegetables as powerups for your next dive.

Wizards In The Sewer is an FPS magic-mixing roguelite. Solo or co-op, fight wizards and creatures through procedurally generated sewers, forests and dystopian futures - all hand painted with real paint and paper. Collect seeds for your garden and grow power-ups for your next adventure.

• Painted for real - every object and effect is painted with a brush on paper, scanned in high resolution, and wrapped into 3D. 

• Mix magic, not bullets - twelve base magic types combine in your wand or out in the environment, live and mid-fight. A thinker-shooter, championing creativity over reflexes.

• Fight, die, garden, repeat - a loop of bombastic magic action and calm relaxing gardening. On death, players can utilize the seeds, fertilizer and gardening equipment found in their runs to build a lush garden oasis, growing plants for powerups and ammo bonuses.

• Solo or co-op - play alone or online with up to four players, with easy drop-in, drop-out.

Naoum's first game,The Master's Pupil was a 2D traditionally painted game, this time he’s done it in 3D. Every enemy, object, plant and magic effect is painted with a real brush on real paper, scanned at high resolution, and wrapped onto 3D geometry. Even the normal maps (the lighting textures) are derived from the original paintings, so light falls across the brush strokes the way it would on the physical page.

The Master's Pupil is a wordless puzzle adventure set inside the eye of Claude Monet. It won Excellence in Art at the Australian Game Developer Awards and was an Official Selection at SXSW Sydney, and holds a Very Positive rating on Steam. Videos of the game's hand-painted development process drew over 24 million views and 80,000 followers on each of TikTok and Instagram.
