About us

We are a games studio exploring new ways to play. Based in Cologne, Germany.

Exploring play

We make games about the things that we love. Taking inspiration from an eclectic mishmash of the games we love, design, art, literature, and music, we synthesize original game experiences with a unique handcrafted flair. We love working with analog materials and putting the grit back into the computer. It's our passion to explore and experiment with new game mechanics, always pushing the envelope of what games can and should be.
