Apps and games for the new era.

We make playful, thoughtful software for phones, tablets and the web. Everything starts as a prototype in front of real players, and gets better because of them.

How we build

Small team, short loops, real players from day one.

  • Play it first

    Every project starts as a prototype you can open in a browser on any phone, tablet or computer. No install, no waiting for a store.

  • Shaped by players

    Playtesters try early builds and tell us what's fun, what's confusing and what's broken. Their feedback decides what ships.

  • Private by design

    Playtests have no ads and no third-party trackers, and we never sell your information. We collect only what we need to make the games better. Read our privacy policy.

Our games

Built with real players, for phones and tablets.

  • Night Beat: Noir Mysteries
