a small, scrappy indie game studio built on the idea that games should feel as good as they look, and hit a little harder than you expected.

In development

What we're building right now: MAZK, a pixel-art RPG about a helmet with a corrupted memory and Hazel vs. Zombies, a quick survival shooter for your phone. Two very different games, made the same way: slowly, carefully and with a lot of playtesting. Both arrive in 2027.

Play first, polish forever

We make games we'd stay up way too late for. Game feel first, weird ideas welcome, and nothing ships until it's fun even when you're bad at it.

Small studio, big opinions, zero chill. Every build gets played by real humans early, and our community gets a vote. Come help us find the fun.
