Overview
Wind Up Deadman is a retro-futuristic CRPG about manipulated memories and buried truths. After the Red Rabbit Disaster robbed humanity of its ability to remember, people survive only by recording their memories onto cassette tapes. You play as Zephyr, an Archive Runner who edits those recordings—reading the memories of others and deciding which ones to keep. Every choice shapes a person's fate, and in time, the fate of the world itself.

Rewind the tape. Edit the past. Shape the future you want.

About
SaneNuts is an indie studio that makes dialogue-driven RPGs, guided by one belief: the true fun of role-playing comes from social interaction. From our debut title, Metro Blossom, and MA/CE Coffee, the novel that expanded its world, to Wind Up Deadman now in development, every project is built on a world of its own, emotionally resonant storytelling, and role-play you can disappear into. With these worlds as our foundation, we aim to cross the lines between media and create original story IPs that players around the world can love.
SaneNuts makes games for a single reason: to tell stories. We design RPG systems around inner monologue and dialogue so that characters and stories pull you in, and we build original worlds that spark the urge to explore. What we're chasing is total immersion in a world you've never known.
Project
Wind Up Deadman is a retro-futuristic CRPG where memories are manipulated and truths are unearthed. Following the "Red Rabbit Disaster," humanity has lost its memory and lives by relying on cassette tapes. You become "Zephyr," an Archive Runner who edits memories, interpreting the recollections of others and influencing the world by choosing which memories to preserve.
Steam
Metro Blossom is a text-based role-playing game shaped by dice and choices. In a Seoul that has become a field of "Corpse Flowers"—beautiful yet deadly zombies—the protagonist, Jin, begins a dangerous journey along subway stations to find his only family, Mary.
The novel MA/CE Coffee is a standalone work that shares the same worldview as Metro Blossom. Set 13 years after the original, it tells the story of "Malce," who operates a warm coffee truck in a ruined Seoul.
Team
