A game development studio focused on games and jobs that inspire playfulness, give comfort, and allow people to thrive
Introducing Hela
Hela tells the enchanting story of a witch and her familiars—a gang of brave little mice. For ages, the kind witch has used her magic to aid the local folk, but now she has fallen ill and needs help herself. It’s up to the mice to find a cure and keep the “witch business” running in the meantime!
About Windup
Windup Games is a video game development studio based in Umeå, in northern Sweden. We create games and jobs that inspire playfulness, give comfort, and allow people to thrive.
We’re building a multiplayer 3D adventure game, with the intent to provide millions of people with something both joyful and meaningful. We’d like your help to make it awesome!
Team
The team is a mix of old and new - some of us have decades in the industry, others are just starting. We’re building a diverse and excellent group. We’ve got experience, energy, lots of love for the craft, and on top of that - very solid financial backing. The studio has a strong foundation, and with your help we’ll be even stronger.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple: Maximize feel-good! To achieve this, we start by building a fantastic work environment, where we increase autonomy to empower creativity. Next, we make games in that spirit - playful, creative, and positive games for a broad audience. Then we use our gains to do it all over again, but even nicer - for us and our players.
Join Us
We invite you to come as you are. Differences expand our perspective, and complement the team. We learn from each other and grow together. Building games is difficult, and we all depend on each other to succeed. At Windup respect, trust, approachability, and accountability is essential.
