About Tardy

Ramto isn’t the smartest guy in the Universe. He enjoys finding troubles - and solving them, but when woke up on a spaceship it was too much even for him. Alone on the ship he had no idea how to pilot, among heaps of weird devices created by a schizophrenic engineer.

Tardy is a quest about fiddling with computers, terminals gadgets and other hi-tech scrap of all sorts. Deal with crazy machines, solve the mystery of the crew disappearance and help Ramto to come back home!


  • Do you like conspiracy theories? Start making them up then! The crew is gone, the ship seems to hate you, the Galaxy is engulfed by war and is teeming with traitors.
  • Haven’t cried for a while? You’re going to see children dying, characters murdered, and the ending will make you weep (well, not all of you, but still).
  • Feel carsick wearing VR-glasses? You won’t need them to immerse into the game. All the buttons, switches and terminals are as good as real.
  • Enjoy playing quests but tired of find-the-item and run-around-the-location things? If you don’t want to combine banana peel to a hammer in your inventory, Tardy is the game you’ve been looking for!
  • Pixel art still doesn’t make you cry blood? Wonderful! Moreover, ours is pleasing to the eye. Just like our music is pleasing to the ear.
  • Tardy costs a bit more than the average sandwich. We can’t believe you haven’t bought it yet!

TardyShort is a nice adventure game. The story is simple but touching and the puzzles are uniques and original. The pixels graphics are great and the ambiant is very good. I recommend it!!! ❤️

As much as I liked the retro graphics, the puzzles are quite obtuse and too ambiguous, leading to frustrating fumbling. The character walks very slowly and the game is still quite short.

Tardy, developed by One Wing Cicada and published by Drageus Games S.A., is a thoughtful and atmospheric sci-fi adventure that merges point-and-click puzzle solving with a minimalistic narrative about isolation and discovery. The game places you in the shoes of Ramto, an engineer who awakens alone aboard a derelict spaceship drifting through the void. There is no crew, no clear mission, and no obvious way home—only an array of cryptic terminals, malfunctioning systems, and mechanical puzzles that stand between you and the truth. From its first moments, Tardy establishes a mood of quiet uncertainty. It does not rush to explain itself or overwhelm the player with exposition; instead, it encourages curiosity, rewarding observation and patience as you slowly unravel its world. The game’s art style plays a crucial role in shaping its identity. Rendered in pixel art, Tardy’s visuals evoke the feeling of old-school sci-fi adventure games but with a distinct sense of modern refinement. Each environment is small but carefully designed, using limited color palettes and fine detail to convey the cold sterility of metal corridors and flickering machinery. The subdued tones are occasionally ac…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
