01
Licensed IP: Film & TV
We reimagine established worlds as games and interactive experiences—protecting what audiences already love while giving them somewhere genuinely new to go.
Modern retro. Built for how people play today.
Independent transmedia studio
Some worlds are made to be watched. We build the ones you can step inside.
A great IP should be playable, expandable and unforgettable.
What we believe
Games people do not just play, but belong to.
Working with somebody else's IP is a responsibility. You are taking a world that already means something to people and deciding how to extend it without losing the reason they loved it.
We tell those stories through Modern Retro: quick to understand, easy to share and built to last. It is one of the fastest, most expressive ways to give a world its own voice.
A game can do something film, television and advertising cannot. It can turn an audience into participants.
Three ways to work with us
Different worlds. The same craft.
02
Brand IP
We turn brand identity, products and stories into entertainment people can play. Never an advert wearing a game as a costume.
03
Original IP
We create and own games, characters and worlds designed to look exciting, play brilliantly and leave people feeling something.
What we're building
Worlds worth pressing start.
Astro Burn
Original IPA fast, colourful pixel art cute-em-up. Play as Astro, a space cat blasting through bizarre worlds and screen-filling critter overlords. Loud and ridiculous on the surface; underneath, a story about isolation, friendship and finding your way home.
