Independent iOS game studio
Thanatos Forge
Crafting Worlds That Survive
We build games that endure the dark — clever systems, immersive atmospheres, and survival-minded design for players who notice the details.
- iOS first Forged for the App Store
- Systems-led Mechanics with teeth
- Atmospheric Worlds you feel at night
Play dead. Forge on.
The studio
Anonymous hands. Enduring worlds.
Thanatos Forge is an independent studio that prefers the work to speak. We stay in the dark on purpose — no cult of personality, only the games: sharp mechanics, layered atmospheres, and themes of survival, cunning, and return.
Like the opossum that thrives by knowing when to vanish, our design philosophy is quiet power. Every system should earn its place. Every world should outlast the first session. We craft experiences that still feel alive after the glow fades.
We publish on iOS — intimate screens, high polish, and the kind of focus only a small forge can keep.
- Clever mechanics
- Immersive worlds
- Survival themes
- App Store
- Independent
Portfolio
Games from the forge
Titles under the Thanatos Forge banner. Some are live fire. Others still sleep underground.
Sealed
Project Umbra
Something waits behind the iron door. When the seal breaks, you’ll hear it here first.
In the mist
Untitled survival
A quieter threat. Forest logic. Play dead long enough and the world forgets you were ever prey.
Signals
News from the undergrowth
Sparse dispatches. We speak when there’s something worth surviving the feed for.
The forge opens its doors
Thanatos Forge is live. A new home for independent iOS games built around clever systems and worlds that refuse to die quietly.
