team
Papercoda Games is an indie studio based in Cologne, Germany, founded by three multimedia creatives from India, South Africa, and Vietnam.Our mission is to cater to the rapidly growing but underserved market of strategy & simulation games that explore real-world complexities in a fun and insightful way. We plan to lower the high threshold of entry into this sector and attract more gender-diverse and relaxed gamers through non-violent themes, cozy aesthetics and gameplay that is easy to learn but hard to master.

Darren le
Tech lead
Darren loves making up games to play with his friends, be it a board game weekend with ridiculous house rules, a new roleplaying adventure he’d spent months writing, or some zany improv comedy games to perform on stage. He programs too, which helps.
