Explore, bond and be well
Our culture centers around the games we make and the bonds we form between the people who make and play them. In our experience, a healthy dose of nerdiness is often central in this, no matter what form it takes.
We encourage employees and teams to explore their nerdiness and connect with one another within and (if they wish) outside the company - be it in our strong board game and TTRPG community, over painting miniatures, in book circles, over karaoke, at our social gatherings and of course over video games. How far down the rabbit hole you go is up to you, nothing is mandatory.
It goes without saying that you get full access to our Steam catalog and the chance the play games that are still in development.
We strive for a good work-life balance for all employees and prioritize their personal well-being.

Masters of our fate
We have stable long-term owners with skin in the game, decision making close to the games and the players and are stably self-financed, without debt. That gives us full ownership and control of our development. Our success or failure is up to us.
