The people behind the places

Small studio.
Boundless
imagination.

We are an independent game studio based in Sambrial, Pakistan. A team of developers, artists, and collaborators drawn to the possibilities of a world that does not exist yet.

Our work moves between the quietly unsettling and the wonderfully unexpected. We care about the details that make a place feel alive—and the experiences you take away from it.
