OUR

JOURNEY & VISION

After more than five years of daydreaming together and countless brainstorming sessions inspired by our shared passion for innovative games, the PressStart Game Founding Grant gave us the opportunity to turn our vision into reality: founding an independent studio rooted in collaboration and creative freedom. In 2025, we are establishing our studio in Leipzig, Germany, deliberately not as one of the standard company setups, but as a cooperative (eG). This structure empowers every member to shape the studio’s direction, share its success, and help build a more democratic and sustainable development culture in the region.

WHAT

WE CREATE

Our goal is to design streamlined cinematic experiences that capture your imagination through unforeseen turns, atmospheric worlds and unforgettable mind-twisting moments that stay with you long after the game ends. Beyond our own titles, we support others with production services across a wide range of fields, including visualizations, installations, game production, and more. Whether it is a world we design or one we help bring to life, we always focus on quality, transparency, and emotional impact.
