Play on Words Studios

An independent studio creating narrative-first transmedia experiences across games, tabletop roleplaying, and actual play, built on original worlds and original IPs.

Founded in 2023, Play On Words Studios is a Malta-based indie game studio working with a remote global team.

Their flagship world, Shadow City Mysteries, is a clockwork noir setting told through interconnected stories across video games, tabletop roleplaying, visual novels, and actual play series. Each project stands alone while contributing to a larger, evolving narrative universe.
