Our Philosophy

๐ŸŽฎ

From Gamer to Gamer

We make games we want to play ourselves. We protect the player's interests and well-being, always prioritizing their happiness and enjoyment. We've been gaming since 1988โ€”and we still play every day.

๐Ÿ“–

From Storyteller to Listener

Every game we create tells a story. Our games are adventures lived through the player's eyes. We love bringing our imagined worlds to life for our audience. There are emotions in our fists.

๐ŸŒ

From Universe to Narrator

We observe with wide eyes and listen with open ears. We watch our players, follow other developers, and study other storytellers closely. We gather flowers, pine cones, and poisonous vinesโ€”then build worlds from what they make us feel.
