Ishtar Games is an independent studio based in Lille and Bordeaux, France. Founded by passionate video game enthusiasts, we dedicate ourselves to creating complex games that blend different genres, with a particular fondness for RPG elements. Our goal is to design playful experiences that reflect our values and match the kind of games we would love to play ourselves.
Among our notable achievements are the "Dead in" series games, such as "Dead in Bermuda" and "Dead in Vinland," as well as "The Last Spell." These titles showcase our commitment to delivering challenging games that push players while offering rich and immersive worlds.
We place great importance on diversity, kindness, and teamwork, both within our studio and in the games we develop. We strive to create healthy and secure work environments that foster creativity and the well-being of our team. These values are also reflected in our player communities, where we encourage respect and inclusion.
Our development philosophy is inspired by the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, a symbol of strength and freedom. Like this deity, we aim to combine contrasting elements in our games, offering experiences that are both beautiful and intriguing, sometimes dark and unsettling, which provoke thought while remaining accessible to all types of players.
In addition to our own productions, we have expanded our scope by launching an independent publishing branch. This initiative allows us to support other talented developers and contribute to the diversity and richness of the independent gaming landscape.
We are constantly looking for new talents to join our team and share our passion for creating innovative and captivating video games. If you share our values and enthusiasm, feel free to check out our job offers and get in touch.
At Ishtar Games, we believe that the combination of diversity, kindness, teamwork, and artisanal craftsmanship is the key to creating memorable games that resonate with players worldwide.
