About the studio

An independent game studio.

Elseway Studios makes games at toy scale: small worlds you can almost reach into, built with care and made to be played with.

The name

else + way

Another way forward. When the usual route is taken, we take the turn.

The mark says it too: one arrow keeps going the usual way, the other turns the corner. It's how we choose ideas. Start from something everyone knows, then look for the angle nobody has played yet.

    Small worlds

    Toys, models and miniatures: the little worlds people set up on a table and lose an afternoon in. That's where our games live.

  • 02

    Easy to pick up

    A game should make sense in seconds. Deslot Legends is played with one button, and the challenge is still there on the hundredth try.

    Made in the open

    We share the work as it happens: builds, dev videos and early looks, on our Discord first.

Say hello

Players, press and business: we read everything.
