Our Story
The Nth Elyment is an indie game studio based in Cornwall, Ontario, focused on creating immersive, emotionally resonant experiences that leave a lasting impact.
​
The founding team—made up of the game director, lead 3D artist, and lead programmer—first crossed paths during their time as students, where they collaborated on REDEMPTION, a school project later released on Steam. A few months later, they reunited at a local game jam where they developed Wall-a-Mole in 48 hours, this time joined by their future lead 2D artist. The synergy and creative energy they shared during that event laid the foundation for what would become The Nth Elyment.
Driven by a shared passion for atmospheric storytelling and meaningful gameplay, the studio aims to craft games that are not only fun to play, but also thought-provoking and emotionally rich. Their debut title, Tavern Builder, is currently in development.
