NPC Studio

NPC Studio is an indie developer based in Chicago, USA. Founded in 2019, NPC Studio is comprised of a talented, professional, and passionate team dedicated to creating the games that they want to see in the world.

As longtime fans of the Farm-Sim RPG genre (since its first inception with Harvest Moon SNES) the team brings 25 years of Farm-Sim knowledge to the table and aims to contribute meaningfully to the genre — embracing its history while continuing to push it forward.

While we’re a very active and passionate team, we value everyone’s health and well-being above all else. We do not crunch and we encourage everyone to work when it works best for them. The majority of us are working during typical American hours, but we have teammates all around the world!

Diversity is important to our team. We have a range of backgrounds represented on our team and believe that this is critical for us to create a game that is accessible to everyone. We encourage members of underrepresented backgrounds to apply!

Featured Game
s

Fields of Mistria: A nostalgic Farming/Life-Sim RPG game where magic, romance, and adventure await.

Mistria, an idyllic village tucked between forest and sea, has offered the player an overgrown but full-of-potential homestead in exchange for their assistance. The player will help to restore the town to its former glory after an earthquake wreaks havoc and strange magic begins to flow through the land.

In this spiritual successor to the Farm-Sim RPGs of the late 90s & onward (Harvest Moon SNES though Stardew Valley) build the farm of your dreams as you discover magic, romance, and adventure!
