We forge worlds worth getting lost in.
MysticWildForge is an independent studio on Rivington Street crafting narrative RPGs, co-op roguelikes, and bespoke game worlds — from first concept sketch to launch-day build.
Our Mission
A small studio with a stubborn belief in handcrafted play.
We started in a Shoreditch loft in 2016 with three developers and one arcade cabinet. Today we are a team of twenty-two artists, engineers, and writers who still ship every game like it is the only one that matters. We build worlds around a single question: will a player remember this moment a year from now?
Original IP and work-for-hire, from vertical slice to full release
In-house narrative, art, audio, and engineering under one roof
Cross-platform builds for PC, console, and Steam Deck

Reviews
What players and partners say.
Verified feedback from our community and the studios we build alongside.
“Emberhollow is the first RPG in years that made me stop and screenshot a sunrise. Ninety hours in and I am still finding hand-written letters tucked into the map.”
“We hired MysticWildForge for a vertical slice and they delivered a demo so polished our publisher greenlit the full game on the spot. Genuinely rare partners.”
“Static Bloom is the only game my flatmates and I have kept installed for a full year. Every run feels fresh and the co-op chaos is perfectly tuned.”
“The team walked our small studio through production planning without a hint of condescension. Tidewright shipped on time and under budget.”
“Rift & Rye is dangerously cosy. I sat down for ten minutes and lost an entire rainy Sunday to running my little tavern.”
“Their audio work on our indie project elevated everything. Devon delivered a score that fans now ask about by name.”
