Built in South Africa,
for the world.

Leothera Studios is an independent game development studio based in South Africa, crafting story-driven experiences that draw on a breadth of cultural mythology, speculative science, and original world-building.

We work with Godot, Blender, and a belief that small teams can build worlds worth losing yourself in. Our games are designed to be deeply playable on modest hardware because great stories shouldn't require a flagship machine.
