Foxglove Games is a small remote indie game studio formed by two friends. We want to write story-focused games in a variety of genres!
We released our debut visual novel, Trouble Comes Twice, back in 2023.
Burn the Midnight Oil is a neo-noir crime romance visual novel packed with action, mystery, and a touch of horror.
Set in a fictionalized eighties England, where supernatural creatures and other horrors hide in plain sight. Play as the seductive vampire detective Circe, on the hunt for an explanation to a series of bloody murders, or as the unwilling cop Dante, a half-demon looking to put an end to a dangerous new drug before it claims more victims.
Trouble Comes Twice is a bisexual romcom visual novel. The two playable protagonists, twins Hazel and Jace, are twenty-somethings who have never been in a serious relationship before. Like any other not-so-rational person, they decide to turn this into a bet! Whichever twin scores a boyfriend or girlfriend first wins!
We’ve been lucky to have some incredible jobs working at and partnering with some of the biggest brands in video games.
But we’ve never had more fun and been more fulfilled than when we were working with indie game developers.
Everyone in games should have that much fun.
Our hope is that Work With Indies will connect job seekers with the most rewarding, most inspirational, and most fun jobs they've ever had.
