Personnel record

Designation: AlluringCoffee
Head count: 1 (one). The org chart is a circle with a name in it.
Location: Ontario, Canada. Specific coordinates withheld.
Engine: Godot 4.2.2, Vulkan only. There is no DirectX fallback and there is no plan B.
Known aliases: “the dev”, “that guy who replies to bug reports at 2am”
Business model: Charge once. That is the entire slide deck.
Weakness: classified
Priors: None. This is the first offence.

Subject describes the work as “a light-cycle combat racer where your trail doesn’t fade”. Investigators note this is technically accurate and unhelpfully brief.

FILE 02 / evidence locker

Items recovered from the premises. One shipped, one is music, one is still a bag of green beans and a bad attitude.

SHIPPED

Synapse Grid

Ninety missions. Four-player couch splitscreen. Ten riders online. Your trail is a permanent solid wall, and for the first few seconds it will kill you as happily as it kills anyone else. There is no boost button — the only way to go fast is to ride close enough to a live wall to regret it.

Synapse Grid — Original Soundtrack

Thirty tracks, from empty-grid ambience to full battle storm. Written by the same person who wrote the collision code, which explains a lot about both. Sold separately because the composer negotiated hard with himself and lost.

Exhibit C — unroasted

There is a second thing. It does not have a name, a date, or a screenshot, and putting a countdown on it today would just be a promise with a timer attached. Investigators found only a notebook, a half-finished prototype, and a mug ring on page 4.

FILE 09 / statement

One person, one pot

AlluringCoffee is an independent game studio in Ontario, Canada — small in the sense that it is one person and a kettle with opinions. Synapse Grid is the first Steam release, developed and published in-house, built in Godot across 2026.

We would rather charge once than nickel-and-dime the people who play our games. That is the whole business plan, and it fits on this card with room left over.
