Games by Jajaben
My name is Joep Aben and I have been making video- board- and cardgames for over 17 years now. I'm most well known under the names JaJ and Jajaben. I love to make games that combine the nostalgia of older games with brand new concepts.In 2017 I released my passion project of 5 years called "Nadia Was Here", which is now available on Steam. Right now I am working on a metroidvania about a chicken that wants to break free from its past.
