Current work
Little Lights is taking shape.
A story-first dark-fantasy horror action RPG about frightened children crossing a kingdom overtaken by a living, coordinated force.
Our point of view
Strange, never arbitrary.
Mystery is strongest when the player can feel the structure beneath it. These principles keep our work readable, playable, and distinct.
01
Worlds with depth
Spaces that reward attention, hold their own history, and leave room for players to form an interpretation.
02
Systems that matter
Mechanics designed to create meaningful choices, legible consequences, and stories nobody had to script.
03
Mystery with intent
The unknown should pull players forward. Obscurity is never a substitute for a point of view.
04
Consequences stay real
We teach the rules, then trust the player. Threats remain dangerous, choices leave marks, and no one is safe by default.
The studio
Clear systems. Uncomfortable questions.
We use atmosphere to sharpen play, not conceal it. The aim is work with a strong point of view, built through small proofs and honest iteration.
