The studio

About Benevolent Anarchy

Benevolent Anarchy is a solo independent game studio in Stockholm, building games with clear boundaries and a point of view.

Small on purpose

Benevolent Anarchy makes games at a scale where creative decisions can remain personal and responsibility cannot disappear into a committee. That means slower announcements, fewer promises and room to change direction while a project is still finding its honest form.

The studio is currently working on How to Wait for the Bus and The Pareto Fix.

The principles

  • Make finite experiences rather than endless obligations.
  • Respect players’ time, attention and ability to make informed choices.
  • Avoid dark patterns, artificial scarcity and fear-of-missing-out mechanics.
  • Announce details when they are useful and sufficiently certain.
  • Keep the work small enough to care for properly.
