About
The Misfits Software makes games without asking permission from political correctness, woke dogma, DEI bureaucrats, sensitivity readers, or corporate morality police. We do not write by quotas, checklists, or approved identities. We write human beings—brave, vicious, beautiful, cowardly, funny, broken—and let the story judge them by what they do.
Plot comes before propaganda. Character comes before representation metrics. Historical truth comes before comfort. If someone chooses to be offended by fiction, that is their hobby—not our design brief. Our job is not to protect audiences from art. Our job is to make games worth remembering.
We make games about people, for people: dangerous stories, hard choices, scars, consequences, and worlds with a soul. Mystery of Ancient Darkness is where we prove it.
