Heartcore
WELCOME TO
We make heart-core games
— games that are fun, deep, and full of emotions like the hardcore games we love — but designed to be so simple and intuitive that you can jump right in,
and we put our hearts into making them.
Philosophy
Depth is what makes
a game stay with you.
Easy to start.
Hard to master.
Impossible to forget.
We grew up on games that asked something of us — punishing roguelikes, tactics grids we redrew on paper, RPGs we cried over at two in the morning. We loved them for their depth, never for their friction.
So we keep the depth and cut the friction. One thumb. Just a few seconds to your first real decision. No tutorial wall, no design that treats your attention as something to farm.
What's left is the part that mattered all along: a game that evoke emotions inside you, and keeps rewarding you for playing it.
Depth first
Systems that talk to each other. If a game can't still delight us on the hundredth try, it isn't shipping.
Zero onboarding
The first rule is taught by playing, not by reading. If it needs a tutorial pop-up, we redesign the rule.
Made by heart
Every frame and every line of dialogue was created by someone who cared about it.
Now hiring
Come put your heart
into something great.
Tell us about a game
that touches your heart.
Publishing, press, playtesting — or just the one that stayed with you. The inbox is genuinely open.
