OUR GAMES & PLATFORMS

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

AI-DM TABLETOP PLATFORM · LIVE IN BROWSER

WAYTABLE

Tabletop RPG that leaves the table. An AI Dungeon Master runs the session in your browser — the host starts a table, friends and guests join free by code, and your pixel Avi can level up when you walk the real world.

2D ACTION RPG · KICKSTARTER

THE DM

An asymmetric 2D action-RPG where one player becomes the Dungeon Master — controlling enemies, placing traps, reshaping the dungeon in real time. 13 D&D classes. 5-act campaign. Endless chaos.

GEOSTORY

The strategy game Civilization fans have been waiting for. Fast turns, deep historical realism, true scenario recreation from ancient empires to near-future geopolitics. Geography meets destiny.

MORE WORLDS IN PROGRESS

Alongside Waytable, The DM, and Geostory, we keep a bench of Godot prototypes — small, strange, and built to find the fun fast.

Godot prototype

Beat Knight

A rhythm-combat side-scroller where stages sync to the music and your combo raises the intensity.

Godot prototype

Mage of Tharad Zur

An endless runner where you draw sigils on screen to cast spells — power builds corruption, and corruption bites back.

Godot prototype

Minotaur Rampage

A 3D kaiju rampage for 1–4 minotaurs: smash the city, earn gold, upgrade, and smash it harder.

Godot prototype

Harvest Ledger

A farming-and-ledger experiment in active development.

Godot prototype

Twerk Monster

A monster prototype in active development. Yes, really. That is the name.

WHY EMBOOGWAY

NOT YOUR AVERAGE STUDIO

🎓
PhD-Level Design

Geostory is built by an actual PhD geographer. The rivers, climate zones, and historical accuracy aren't guesswork — they're modeled correctly.

💡
Gaps, Not Genres

We don't make another RPG or another strategy game. We make games that fill genuine holes — experiences that players want but can't find anywhere.

🤝
Community Shaped

No pay-to-win. No loot boxes. All content earnable. Backers shape stretch goals. We build in public and take feedback seriously.
