Worlds Drift.
Stories Stay.
An independent game studio from Abu Dhabi. We build games that respect the people playing them.
Sijen: Chaos Board
The Gulf board game you grew up with, reimagined. Sijen: Chaos Board keeps what the original got right and builds a layer of Chaos Mode on top. Items and powers that turn a familiar race game into something unpredictable and genuinely competitive. Free to play. No pay-to-win. Up to four players on one device.
An Idea Worth Developing
The studio's work is primarily in games, but what we know about design, systems, and craft extends beyond games. We can take on projects beyond games, such as software, interactive experiences, things that are genuinely useful or meaningful, when they align with how we think about making things. If you have an idea worth building and think we might be the right people to build it with, reach out and tell us about it.
How We Think About Games
Exploration
We build spaces that communicate without exposition. Every environment should feel inhabited. The desert teaches this. It is never empty, even when it looks like it is.
Storytelling
Gulf folklore and regional memory are not aesthetics. They are the architecture. We build from the inside out, not the surface down.
Discovery
A player who notices something they were not explicitly shown is a player who will come back. We build for that moment.
Custom Crafts
The same attention we bring to games, applied to physical objects. Custom keyboards built to be used, not just displayed. This is the beginning of something larger.
Every Horizon Hides a Story
Modern games are often technically impressive and creatively exhausted. Sanddrifter exists in the space between what games are and what they could still become.
