Our Philosophy and Our Game:

Lunacy is a fully-remote, globally distributed, indie studio creating narrative-rich games that explore culture, emotion and identity. Our studio values are built on mutual respect and flexibility. We take a values-driven approach to culture: no crunch, no egos, and no empty promises.

We celebrate our diverse perspectives and integrate them into the design process while we embark on creatively ambitious projects rooted in emotional storytelling and cultural authenticity.

In short, we’re a studio that shares knowledge and believes in collective growth, for our team, our partners, and players alike. If that sounds good to you, let’s chat.
