A small studio, MAKING big games strange little games.

We're three people in Portland, Oregon. We make single-player games for people who'd rather play one good thing in a weekend than grind through a season of microtransactions. Five released so far. One in beta. One in the strange middle period where it's mostly art, no mechanics.

Five games + two on the way.

Every game we ship is short, weird, and entirely playable in one sitting if you really want to. None of them have multiplayer. None of them ask for your email. Most of them have a moth in them somewhere.

// the studio

Three full-time. One golden retriever named Cassette.

Moth Punch is a worker-owned studio of three people working out of a converted bakery in inner-southeast Portland. We started in 2018 with no funding and no investors, and that's still the arrangement.

Every game we've shipped has been profitable, which has been enough to keep the lights on and the dog fed. We have no plans to grow, take VC, or get acquired. The studio's job is to keep making games — not to keep growing.
