We are an independent studio known for our unorthodox approach to game development. We operate within a small team (maximum 15-20 per project) where everyone has a real impact on the final product.

Crafting games for both PC and consoles, our focus lies in creating immersive mechanics and innovative solutions, all while maintaining an authentic visual and artistic direction.

We thrive on challenges, bold ideas, and ambition. By joining us, you will play a crucial role in project development and actively participate in the entire production process.

Production values are a core priority for us. The game's scope is comparable to titles such as Cuphead, Spiritfarer, or GRIS. Additionally, we've recently unveiled a collaboration with a leading international indie publisher - Team17 (LINK).
