Mucks! Games is an indie game studio based in Ludwigsburg, founded in 2023 by three graduates of the Animationsinstitut. We create atmospheric and visually unique 2D story games with powerful messages. Our logo, a screaming mouse, symbolizes that even the smallest voices have meaningful stories to tell. Our works explore topics that are close to our hearts: mental health, digital well-being, feminism, and the strength of human connections. Our games blend poetic narratives with immersive worlds and interactive formats—games and story experiences for both indie enthusiasts and casual players.

Mucks! Games is driven by a core team of three, supported by an interdisciplinary network of talented freelancers. With female creative leads at the forefront, we challenge outdated notions of a male-dominated gaming industry. We view games as an art form, shaped by a strong authorial voice and a clear vision.

Our first game, “The Bear – A Story from the World of Gra”, an interactive bedtime story for all ages created by Clara Deitmar, was released in 2024. It won the German Computer Game Award for Best Graphic Design, received recognition from the Apple Design Awards and App Store Awards for its social and cultural impact, and was awarded the Grand Prize for Digital Children’s Books in Tokyo.

Currently, we are working on our next game, “Frieda is Changing”—a feminist fun-horror detective adventure by Luzie Kehle.
