Games with soul. For players who love stories.

Red Thread Games is an independent game developer and publisher based in Oslo, Norway.

We are storytellers, and we tell our stories using the unique strengths of our medium.

Our mission is to create games with soul for a global and diverse audience of players who love stories — across a wide range of genres and platforms.

To us, soul signifies depth, diversity, delight. It means games that are handcrafted with love, featuring compelling, personal narratives, engaging game mechanics, and immersive worlds populated with multicultural characters.

Our values drive our creative decisions, resulting in games with personality, a point of view and purpose. Games that hopefully have something interesting and important to say.

So far we've released third-person, choice-and-consequence adventure Dreamfall Chapters, and Fjord Noir mystery Draugen. We’re currently working on road-trip action adventure Dustborn and Polar Punk survival RPG Svalbard. All of our games are available for (or coming to) PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

We have 15 team members in our Oslo office, along with employees and freelancers across the globe.

We’re represented by DDM — Digital Development Management. Please direct business inquiries accordingly.

Why “Red Thread”?

The concept of the red thread is universal, and signifies a deep connection between things: thematically, emotionally, physically.

In Chinese legend, the gods would connect certain individuals with an invisible red thread — and these individuals were thus destined to meet, form a connection and help each other.

Our games are all about that strange, ethereal bond between living things, and the drama — and game mechanics! — that emerges from the red threads that connect us all, regardless of distances and differences.
