Small team. Singular focus.

Cause & Effect Studios AB is an independent Swedish game studio. We work at a small scale and close to the material, creating narrative games where choices continue to matter.

We would rather make a few things well. Legends of Justice is our first title, developed deliberately and documented through an open production journal.

Origins

How the work began

The studio was formed by two people with long experience in narrative production. Legends of Justice began as a series of sketches of London in the fog, then grew into a full production when the story proved it could hold the weight. We work at our own pace and document the process as it happens.
