What Stormind Games does

Stormind Games is an Italian independent video game studio founded in 2016 and headquartered in Acireale, Italy, with 51-100 employees. The studio specializes in narrative-driven horror games for PC and consoles, anchored by its proprietary Remothered franchise: Remothered: Tormented Fathers (2019), Remothered: Broken Porcelain (2020), and the upcoming trilogy finale Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy scheduled for end of 2026. The studio's technology and creative approach center on atmospheric horror storytelling, with the franchise finale featuring an original soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, the composer behind the Silent Hill series.

The studio's business model combines direct-to-consumer game sales through digital distribution platforms (Steam, GOG) and major console storefronts (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2) with a growing licensing and co-development leg. Through a publishing partnership with Saber Interactive, Stormind Games develops titles within Paramount's A Quiet Place franchise universe, generating licensing-based revenue tied to major Hollywood IP. A capital injection in October 2025 led by Italian family office Marsa Holding, with participation from Intesa Sanpaolo and Mediocredito Centrale, is funding production scaling and co-financing of major projects. Beyond the Remothered trilogy and the A Quiet Place collaboration, the studio has announced a new next-generation IP, signaling diversification beyond its established horror franchise.
