About Dreamhunt Studio

Dreamhunt Studio is an independent video game and gamification developer based in Bern, Switzerland. Founded in July 2020, the studio combines original narrative-driven games for PC and consoles with commissioned interactive experiences for commercial partners. Its entertainment work focuses on non-violent play, environmental exploration and emotionally aware storytelling.

Original games

The studio developed Unpetrified: Echoes of Nature, a stylized adventure in which players guide a gentle stone Golem accompanied by a fox. Exploration and environmental puzzles take the place of combat, while the story unfolds without dialogue. Players reactivate ancient energy sources and restore dormant plants and wildlife as they move through the game's natural environments.

Published by Mindscape, Unpetrified: Echoes of Nature launched on PC through Steam on November 11, 2025. As of October 2026, versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were scheduled for November 10, 2026. The project previously appeared under the development title Unpetrified: A Dreamhunt Story.

Commercial interactive development

Alongside its original games, Dreamhunt develops bespoke gamification applications for marketing, advertising and customer engagement. This work includes promotional mini-games, campaign micropages, companion applications and interactive brand experiences. Its commercial portfolio includes a promotional campaign micropage and interactive game for Fisherman's Friend.

The studio offers full-cycle game development alongside gamification consulting and interactive experience architecture. Its production capabilities span programming, game design, concept art, 3D character modeling, environment art, animation, interface design and sound design. Unity development supports its game production, while interactive 3D web technologies underpin its promotional experiences.

These two strands of work give Dreamhunt a business spanning original entertainment properties and commissioned applications, with projects ranging from exploratory adventures to focused promotional experiences.
