Playing with fire

We’re not afraid to take risks. We create the best.

We develop mobile and PC games, apps, and virtual exhibitions.

Mission

Flame. Impulse. Resonance.
Heresiarch Studio was founded in 2022 by a team of passionate creatives united by a shared vision.
We believe independent and unconventional projects are what people need today.
While our focus is on strong ideas, we never lose sight of commercial success. By experimenting with genres, styles, and themes, we bring to life what we truly believe in—so that others can believe in it too.

Our key projects emphasize atmosphere and narrative, blending original aesthetics with unique gameplay mechanics. We pour our heart and fire into every game, virtual space, and custom application we create.
