Arcade rail shooter · Rio de Janeiro
"In cold blood."
Fight up the Morro da Aurora cover to cover. Paint up to six targets in slow-motion Sangue Frio, steady your aim for the rooftop snipers, then gun your way out on the back of a getaway truck. Every shot lands exactly where you point.

Siege horror · The swamp, under the eclipse
"Black heart."
For five minutes you hold a swamp-side shack while a folk surgeon cuts the possessed heart out of your daughter. Silver bullets, a salt star traced at a demon's feet, a pulse found through a crack in the door. Things came up out of the water. Some of them knock.
In Irish folklore the púca is a shapeshifter. It walks the roads at night as a black horse, a goat, a hare, a hound. It can bring ruin or good fortune, and you never know which until it is too late. On Samhain, the farmers leave the last of the harvest for it, just in case.
Courage
Games that hit hard. Every shot, every scare, every impact tuned until it feels right in your hands.
Loyalty
A small pack that builds together, plays together and listens to the people holding the controller.
Cunning
Clever design over big budgets. One sharp idea, carried all the way through.
Our story
Púca Games comes from Sligo, in the north-west of Ireland. It's a county of old stories: Queen Maeve's cairn on Knocknarea, the passage tombs of Carrowmore, and the hills and lakes Yeats kept writing about. We grew up on those stories and on the games that kept us up too late.
We're a small, young team. We make games the way the old storytellers worked: short, intense and built to be remembered. We would rather give you five unforgettable minutes than fifty forgettable hours.
Right now that means games for the Arkade Gaming Gun, where you point a real gun at the screen and the game has to answer with precision. Next, the old world. The púca is patient.
Our rail shooter is playable at Gamescom Asia x Thailand Game Show, 29 October to 1 November. Pick up the gun, climb the Morro, and try to top the leaderboard.
A black sun over the swamp, a girl behind a sheet and three things at the door. Our second game for the Arkade Gaming Gun is a five-minute siege of pure dread.
Púca Games has a home on the web, just in time for Samhain. Follow along here for devlogs, show dates and first looks.
