The Zium Railway is out now! My piece, ‘A Beating Heart’ is featured in one of the eight ‘train stations’. If you’re an art-game connoisseur, I can recommend going for a ride.

Last November, I created a small interactive piece called 'A Beating Heart' for The Zium Railway. An interactive experience in which your proximity affects the heart. Excited to see it released soon!

How to Pitch a Game to Publishers and Get Accepted
At the time of writing, I’ve officially and unofficially gone over thousands of pitches, yet only around 35 were a good fit for the work we do at Raw Fury.

Charlotte Madelon @charlottemadelon.bsky.social · 26/08/2025
Question: let’s say, hypothetically, you want to pitch your game to a publisher. Is it smart to post wip’s of your game before that (and gather a following) or to keep it secret so they can announce it and have something special? What do publishers want these days? 🤔

Biophobia note; was hoping to be quicker with adding language support, audio and UX fixes, but since I made the game in my free time (no funding) I have to manage my resources wisely. It’s good to see it's still getting positive reviews (84!). Rest assured, at some point I'll publish an update.

Just played the wonderful Biophobia by Charlotte Madelon. It’s 10-20 minutes tops and reminds me of the best of Ice Pick Lodge games. Just be aware it’s body horror.

Biophobia on Steam
A woman is violated by a man. In a final act of rebellion to preserve her humanity, she takes control and opens her stomach. Unable to finish what she started she waits for you, and asks you not to look away.

a post from itch saying “I don't see any indexing restrictions on your game. Your game does have a content warning because of this setting on your page though (check the "Metadata" tab). It's possible at some point you could have added a tag to your page that is commonly associated with explicit adult content.”a post from itch pointing out that an article is full of misinformation and trying to clarify.

It started a bit slow/gradual for me, but this thing has really gotten its hooks into me -- it's crazy how simple yet novel this concept is, and it's even crazier how mega-polished the presentation is. Also remarkable: there's IAP, but somehow it manages to not feel scummy at all! Recommended!! :D
