Studio Carota becomes Studio Ortica.

We rebranded ourselves! Ortica in Italian means nettle.

It stings a little, like the kind of games we want to make: thought-provoking, stimulating, and a little shocking!

We've started working on the first content update for Loan Shark!

Below, sketches for the new alternative endings, by far the most requested addition. Can you decipher them?

Woke up to @caseohbsky.bsky.social playing our game and doing some sweet dancing on good old tarantella. It's so satisfying seeing people like it so much 😭

Our first game Dark Reality got delisted from @itch.io as well. No real explicit content. Just an artistic exploration of violence, sexuality and toxic masculinity. Thanks to Visa & Mastercard for dictating what’s "acceptable art."

Crazy how things can look good with just a shader and a volumetric. A quick screenshot from our next game's prototype!

If we look at this bird too insistently, it will freeze our computers for 5 seconds then disappear.
