Shifty Eye Games

Shifty Eye Games is an independent Canadian video game developer and multi-platform publisher headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Founded in 2019, the studio develops and publishes indie, casual, and narrative adventure games for mobile, PC, and console audiences, with an emphasis on gameplay depth, bespoke level design, and polished interactive experiences.

Its work spans full-cycle game development, co-development, adaptation and porting, digital publishing and distribution, quality assurance, and in-studio playtesting. The team’s capabilities include stealth and action-adventure design, 3D environment art, character modelling and animation, digital sculpting, motion-capture integration, and development in tools including Unity 6 and Autodesk Maya.

Multi-platform publishing

Shifty Eye has worked across Apple Arcade, PC storefronts, and console platforms. Its publishing and partner catalogue includes Stranded Sails, Discolored, Operator 41, EarthNight, Mini Metro, SteamWorld Heist, Train Valley 2, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, and Conglomerate 451.

During the launch of Apple Arcade, the company shipped four titles for the subscription service: Operator 41, Stranded Sails, Discolored, and EarthNight. Its projects have since extended across mobile, PC, and console distribution.

Current work

The Calgary team is conducting closed-alpha testing for an unannounced original stealth-adventure project. Developed in Unity 6, the game is being made in partnership with a major Hollywood film studio and is based on a well-known movie intellectual property.

As an independently owned company, Shifty Eye combines internal production with publishing and co-development relationships, supporting games from development through platform release and audience delivery.
