About Stormteller Games
Stormteller Games is an active Gothenburg-based game development studio creating narrative-driven action games for PC and console platforms. The team emerged from the 2017 combination of Swedish indie developers Image & Form and Zoink Games, which formed Thunderful’s Gothenburg development core. After operating as Thunderful Gothenburg, the studio adopted the Stormteller Games name in February 2025.
The studio develops games from concept and prototyping through production and launch, with capabilities spanning narrative design, worldbuilding, 3D art, animation, audio engineering, porting, tooling and build engineering. Its technical work includes Unreal Engine, Unity and proprietary C++ engine workflows, supporting releases across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
Creative Focus
Stormteller’s games combine gameplay-led design with whimsical dark-fairytale worlds, action-adventure sensibilities and roguelite mechanics. Its specialties include procedural generation, dice-based gameplay systems and multi-platform development for contemporary console and PC audiences.
Selected Work
