Double Dagger Studio

Double Dagger Studio is a small independent developer and publisher based in Seattle, Washington, founded by Matt T. Wood, a former developer at EA and Oculus. The studio operates at a deliberately small scale, self-publishing its own work and focusing on narrative adventure games with a gentle tone and strong environmental storytelling. Its two released games are Little Kitty Big City and Rubi: The Wayward Mira, both built around quiet exploration rather than combat or action.

Little Kitty Big City

Little Kitty Big City released in May 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox, with Game Pass day one on Xbox. The game casts the player as a small cat that has fallen from an apartment window and needs to find a way home through a bustling Japanese-inspired city. It leans into the fantasy of being a cat, letting players knock objects off shelves, nap in inconvenient places, distract people, and wear hats. The game was warmly received for its charm and low-stakes tone, finding an audience among players looking for something relaxing. It was one of the more delightful small releases of its year.

Rubi: The Wayward Mira

Rubi: The Wayward Mira is a narrative adventure featuring a small robot tasked with completing a mission in a world that has seen better days. The game emphasizes exploration, environmental storytelling, and a contemplative pace. It is the kind of quiet game that finds its audience among players looking for something more reflective than action-driven.
