WOMEN-FOUNDED · INDEPENDENT AA STUDIO · PORTUGAL & UK
Games that stay with you
MakeShift Interactive is a women-founded AA studio making narrative-driven games about people, places and the things that change us.
We've shipped games across every major platform. We've worked on some incredible worlds. And eventually, we wanted to work on something more aligned with us.
We're creating original games and working in meaningful co-dev for games with emotional depth, strong identities and stories worth carrying with you — designed to live beyond the screen.
We're not here to play it safe. We're here to make the shift.
Built by a mix of new-comers and established professionals

WHAT DO WE CREATE?
STories that stay with you
Fear. Grief. Wonder. Curiosity. Connection. The uncomfortable things we don't always know how to put into words.
Our games are narrative-first, emotionally driven and rooted in the worlds and cultures that inspire them.
But we're not interested in making stories that end when the credits roll.
We're building original worlds with the potential to grow — across games, books, film, podcasts and whatever comes next.
Because a good story doesn't have to stay in one place.
