The first shipped Aesthetic Engine product explores a different interface for discovery: ride into a mine, find horror games, and keep the ones that catch your attention.

a sense of discovery.
Each run introduces six games. Keep a discovery or crush it and move on, then review your collection back at camp. Different routes make room for popular releases, cult favorites, and less familiar work.
The experiment brings together interface design, human curation, and AI-assisted product development. It established the independent practice that later expanded into authored games and their development infrastructure.
