What they do
Profits Troll Studio is a video game studio that stands out for its creative and humorous approach.
The studio specialises in creating wacky, offbeat games, focusing on absurd humour and unique universes. The company’s core values are creativity, kindness and humour.
Their flagship game, Ostera, is an adventure and strategy RPG that combines management and storytelling:
- Gameplay: The heart of the game is a management system where players must respond to various complaints by choosing from three options. Each decision affects the village’s resources (materials, food, gold) as well as the player’s reputation and a mysterious curse.
- Storytelling: Players interact with various characters, making decisions that influence the balance of Belharock, the game’s village.
- Influences: Ostera draws on Terry Pratchett’s “Discworld” universe, the absurd humour of Monty Python, and games such as “Yes Your Grace” and “Reigns”
Profits Troll Studio, formerly incubated in the video game programme, is supported by Plaine Images, as well as GAME IN – Game Industry North and Pictanovo for the development of its prototype and demo.
