Crafted with care

Dqoz was founded in 2017 with a simple belief: games can be art, and art can be human. We're a 45‑person studio based in Austin, with satellite teams in Melbourne and Vancouver.

We value slow craft, thoughtful design, and games that feel like they were made by people who care. Our work is warm, detailed, and full of soul.

"We make games that feel like home."

Our process is deliberate, collaborative, and rooted in empathy. We prototype with feeling, and we polish until every detail resonates.
