From an Indie Studio with Passion and Experience

Nochi Studios, a female-founded and female-run indie game developer, is behind Stellifier. The team, consisting of just three women, has a strong track record in the romance game genre, having previously released successful titles like Sifting Thyme and Untold Atlas. Despite their small size, Nochi Studios has demonstrated their ability to deliver polished and engaging games, and Stellifier is no exception.

The journey to Stellifier’s Kickstarter launch wasn’t without challenges.
