What We Do

CuddleKillz Games Studio creates games that help players rediscover the simple joy of play. Our titles are approachable, uplifting, and fit seamlessly into real-world moments: shared laughs, casual challenges, and nostalgic chats with friends.

We invite players to game it out: to solve problems, release frustrations, and celebrate all victories through the power of play. Our games offer a space to process life with curiosity and excitement.

Our target audience is casual players of all ages, and we aim to create games that can be enjoyed by families and friends together. We believe that video games can be a powerful force for good, and we are committed to creating games that are both fun and meaningful.

At CuddleKillz, we make games that remind you how good it feels to play — and how much better it feels to share that joy with others.
