Short and Sweet is a funny story about coffee, friendship, and the "Man."

Retrograde tells the story of siblings Ivy, Vera, and Davey as they enter Retrograde, a small, musty video game store, at Davey's insistence. Inside, they encounter Rupert, an eccentric store host who challenges them to participate in the Legendary Quest, a high-stakes scavenger hunt. Before they complete the first round of bizarre tasks, they meet Kaya and Liam, mysterious twins dressed in 90s clothes who hint at something unusual about the game. With each step, the siblings are drawn deeper into the adventure, unaware of the true stakes behind Rupert’s cryptic warnings.
