Fenlight

A lantern carrier waist deep in reed marsh at blue hour, chased by things that are not quite there.

The most recent one, and the one I would show first. Krzemień Press had a game about walking into a marsh at night with a light and coming out with less of it, and the cover had to be the moment before anything goes wrong.

Almost all of it is reeds. The lantern is the only warm thing in the picture and it lights about a meter of water. Ninety-six card illustrations followed over five months, and the two player boards were the last thing I delivered before the printer cut off.
