A studio built to add color to the games industry.
We are a passionate team of designers and developers who believe in the power of creativity.
Small team. Big ambitions.
Established in 2024, Merlot Games is supported by investors and a management team with more than twelve years of experience in the games industry.
As part of Merlot Teknoloji A.Ş., the studio doesn’t only create games; it places great emphasis on developing the talents of its people. Collective integrity, and team members contributing to each other’s growth, sit at the heart of our culture.
Every Merlot game starts in our brainstorming room, where the whole team shapes ideas together alongside a game designer, before they ever reach a prototype.
The fire that fuels our passion
Four principles guide how we work with each other and with our players.
Creativity
We protect time and space for new ideas, and every idea gets a fair hearing.
Collaboration
We help each other and solve problems together, across every discipline.
Discipline
We define our tasks clearly, own them and see them through.
Fun
We build a workplace that is as enjoyable as the games we make.
