Capricia Productions

Capricia Productions is an independent video game developer and publisher based in Jerusalem, Israel. Founded in 2014 and incorporated in 2016, the studio grew from a collaboration between musicians and game enthusiasts. Its original creative focus was bringing narrative games and symphonic rock and metal together, treating an album and its interactive story as a combined experience.

The studio develops music-driven narrative games, virtual reality action-platformers and casual strategy titles. Its capabilities span game design, programming, original composition, audio production, stylized 3D modeling and character animation. Alongside development, the company publishes its own games and works with external publishing partners.

Music and interactive storytelling

Its debut musical project, Of Bird and Cage, was released in 2021. Conceived as a two-hour interactive symphonic metal opera loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast, the game combines a dark narrative with music composed by Arnold Nesis and performances by musicians from established rock and metal bands. The project reflects the studio’s founding interest in using games as a storytelling medium for conceptual albums, extending the relationship between music and audience participation beyond a conventional music video.

Expansion into VR and strategy

Capricia subsequently broadened its portfolio with Outta Hand, a VR movement and platforming game built around physics-driven locomotion and arm-swinging action. Developed in partnership with Beyond Frames Entertainment, it launched on Meta Quest in September 2023 and SteamVR in August 2024.

In July 2026, the company released Cat Chess, a lighthearted chess strategy game for PC. Its subsequent downloadable content included the Samurai Cats expansion, released in October 2026. Together, these projects show the studio’s progression from interactive musical storytelling into movement-focused VR and casual strategy while retaining game development, audio and visual production within its creative practice.
