SMALL STUDIO // BIG TROUBLE

GOOD IDEAS.
BAD
DECISIONS.

We make games that hand you a choice, then make sure you feel it. One more room. One more spell. What could possibly go wrong?

GREED
SPIRE✳

THE DUNGEON ISN'T TRYING TO KILL YOU. IT'S TRYING TO TEMPT YOU.

Descend a gold-cursed spire in a push-your-luck roguelike auto-battler. Bank your haul, or stay for one more room. Enchant your best gear and risk losing it forever.

THE BEST PLAN IS THE ONE YOU INVENT WHILE EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE.

Bring up to four mages into a living voxel dungeon. Combine spells, bend the environment, solve trouble your own way, and try to get everyone home with the loot.

ABOUT ARCANABYTES

WE LIKE
THE WHAT IF?

ArcanaBytes is an independent game studio building worlds where curiosity is a mechanic, not just a mood.

Greedspire asks how far you'll push your luck. Mage Heist asks what your friends will do when the plan falls apart. We think the best stories start right after you say, “this should be fine.”
