Gossamer Games

Gossamer Games is a new Philadelphia-based independent game studio creating ambitious aesthetic-driven experiences that explore games as an empathetic and expressive artform.

Gossamer Games was born out of a curiosity to explore the untapped potential of mobile games as a means for emotional gameplay experiences. Formed by a small group of bright-eyed Drexel University undergrads through the Entrepreneurial Game Studio, Gossamer Games slowly grew its small team of diverse and incredibly talented developers over the production of its debut title, Sole.

We believe that video games are the ultimate medium for exploring new perspectives and that play is a tremendously powerful tool for discovery. Our mission is to make games that allow players to create, perform, and explore inside imaginative environments that challenge players to view their surroundings in a new light.
