Korova

Studio Overview

Korova, also known as Korova Games, is an independent video game development studio dedicated to creating cozy, narrative-driven experiences. Founded by Artem Korovkin, the studio focuses on tactile, meditative puzzle games that emphasize organization, environmental storytelling, and visual satisfaction. By prioritizing "visual ASMR" mechanics and hand-crafted isometric aesthetics, Korova aims to provide players with relaxing, low-stress gameplay environments.

Creative Philosophy

The studio's design language is centered on the concept of "putting spaces in order." Their projects often feature:

• Tactile Interaction: Mechanics designed to provide satisfying, rhythmic feedback.
• Environmental Storytelling: Narrative depth woven into the organization of physical spaces and objects.
• Visual Style: A distinct, warm, and "vinyl-style" artistic approach using 2D isometric environments.

Operations and Development

Korova operates as a remote-first organization, maintaining an administrative base in Batumi, Georgia, while employing a distributed team of developers and contractors globally. The studio utilizes the Unity engine to build its titles, maintaining a lean, flat team structure that allows for rapid prototyping and community-integrated development. The studio actively engages with its player base through platforms like Discord and Steam to refine its titles based on direct feedback.

Commercial Presence

Korova debuted with the title Neat!, a narrative-focused organizing puzzle game that follows the life of a professional organizer. The game achieved significant visibility prior to its September 2026 release, supported by partnerships with publishers such as Rogue Duck Interactive and Gamersky Games. Following the successful launch of its debut title, the studio continues to provide post-launch support while exploring new concepts within the cozy gaming genre.
