About Fein Games
Fein Games is an independent game development studio based in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 2020 by Lea Schönfelder and Franziska Zeiner, it creates story-driven casual games from a female perspective. Its work centers relatable characters and experiences, bringing women’s stories into accessible puzzle and narrative games.
The studio combines original game development with game design, narrative design and publishing. Its specialties include hidden-object adventures, merge puzzle mechanics and episodic storytelling, with games developed for mobile platforms and PC. The founders established the company in response to the underrepresentation of female developers and women-centered narratives in the games industry.
Debut game
Finding Hannah, released in 2023 for iOS, Android and PC through Steam, is the studio’s debut title. It combines hidden-object scenes and merge mechanics with an intergenerational story about three modern German women. Their experiences explore self-discovery, work and family, connecting casual puzzle play with character-driven drama.
Company development
The business began under the legal name Fein UG (haftungsbeschränkt) in 2020 and converted to Fein Games GmbH in January 2022. It remains an independent studio. Although established in Berlin, the company adopted a distributed working structure during the COVID-19 pandemic and retains Berlin as its registered corporate base.
