About

One-person indie studio founded in January 2024 by Mikko Hyvönen, a software developer who had been designing board games since 2011; the idea originated during the 2020-2022 pandemic with the development of Parasite. The company describes itself as located in southern Norway and northern Finland and states its goal is designing and publishing indie board games. Parasite, a cooperative survival and hidden-traitor game for 4-8 players, was published in summer 2024 and is the flagship title; further games are in the works.
