autotroph games is an indie studio based out of Seattle, Washington, formed by developer Jakob Herlitz and designer Dominic Giardini. The two became friends in middle school, started making YouTube videos soon after, and somehow ended up across the country together.
Jakob works as a Software Engineer at DoorDash, and Dominic was most recently on contract at Meta’s Reality Labs.
They’re making Haunted Heist so that they have something fun to play with Jakob’s 3 brothers every Wednesday night.
