Boutique indie studio

Sweet games for families.
Dark games for brave players.

We release 1–2 carefully crafted games per year. Simple to learn, hard to forget. Every game has a shadow.

About Us

Sugar & Shadow Games designs two moods under one roof: bright, playful experiences for families — and deep, atmospheric journeys for adults.

Our promise

We design with intention: clean rules, memorable moments, and a strong identity. Few releases, high care.

Sugar

Fast, friendly games you can teach in a minute. Laughs, shouts, and instant replay.
