About

An indie studio that takes
craft seriously.

Paper Wasp Games makes games that reward attention - games where the systems have opinions, the aesthetics are deliberate, and the feeling of play is considered from the first prototype.

Our work spans genres by design. Strategy games about historical systems. Tight daily puzzles. Co-op chaos with friends. The through-line isn't a genre - it's a sensibility. Nostalgia examined. Handcrafted detail. We make the games we've been looking for.

How we balance 19 endings

When every playthrough ends differently, balance isn't about making things equal. It's about making sure every ending feels earned, and no strategy dominates the rest.

Building five visual eras from scratch

Each era of the game looks and feels different. We built five complete CSS themes that transform the entire interface as the timeline progresses from 1990 to 2001.
