Hello there!

We're Mangolei Entertainment, a budding indie game studio from Germany.

You can also find us on various other places

Current Project

We are working on a magical and comedic detective game with romance elements set in a fantasy world inspired by ancient Mesopotamia.

It will feature:

a theatre-kid protagonist with an ego as big as his ambitions

four love interests (2 male, 2 female....two are cat people)

point-and-click mechanics

teaming up with your chosen love interest to act as the Watson to your Sherlock

✨magic ✨(you can use it too!)

dramatic courtroom battles in which you can even argue yourself out of choice menus

a comprehensive Twitch integration that let's your chat vote on choices and manipulate the game in lots of other ways

We'll be documenting our development journey on this blog with weekly dev-updates and other stuff!
