Cinderwright Studios
Three studios, one fire.
An independent house of makers. Our studios build games, software and pictures, each in its own voice, all held to one standard of craft.
The Studios
Each studio keeps its own craft.
Cinderwright sets the standard and carries the work to its players, users and audiences. The studios do the making.
Games
Lantern & Lock
Games of the hollow hill and the hedge at dusk. Bargains with what lives under the briar, doors that open only once, a light you should not follow.

Quenchline

Ka Leo o ka Pō
The voice of the nightStories told after dark, the way they were told around the fire: films, serialized tales, scores and sound, for the screen and for the headphones.
