One day…Free-to-play became free-to-exploit. The games industry got addicted to timers, loot boxes, and dark patterns. We said no thanks.
Cephalopod games are designed to respect your time and your wallet. When you pick one up, you get a complete, fair experience — full stop.
Cephalopod Studios was founded in 2010 by a group of game industry veterans who wanted to do things differently. We're a small, distributed team based across the United States — focused, opinionated, and deeply committed to the craft.
We build a wide variety of games and entertainment applications for mobile and desktop. Small by design means every game gets the full attention it deserves from people who genuinely care about the outcome.
If you love what we're making, we'd love to hear from you. And if you think you'd fit in here, drop us a line.
