Natris

What Natris does

Natris (주식회사 나트리스 / Natris Corporation) is a privately held South Korean mobile game developer headquartered in the Gangnam district of Seoul. Founded as a corporation with a 2022 copyright notice (and referenced in firmographic data with a 2017 origin), the company specializes in casual and idle role-playing games distributed through major mobile app stores. Its live product portfolio comprises two titles: "Hero Blaze: Three Kingdoms," a casual hero-RPG featuring unlimited breakthrough mechanics in a Three Kingdoms setting, and "Rising Idol Star," an idle RPG that hybridizes idol-growth simulation with rhythm-game mechanics driven by original soundtracks. A third project, "I Love Coffee," is in development and extends an existing intellectual property into a GPS-based social cafe management game that combines idle progression with location-based social play.

The company operates a free-to-play business model monetized through in-app purchases of virtual currency and virtual goods. Its technical stack combines a mobile game development platform with AWS-managed cloud infrastructure handling server operations, data storage, and processing. Natris integrates with Facebook, Google, and Apple Game Center for social login and authentication, and distributes its titles through the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Korean open-market platforms. The company serves three primary customer segments: casual RPG players interested in hero collection and progression, idol/rhythm-game fans, and life-simulation/social gamers targeted by the upcoming I Love Coffee product. Marketing is conducted through the official website, official game communities, and in-game announcements, with partnership and recruitment inquiries routed through dedicated contact channels.

No funding rounds, acquisitions, headcount figures, or revenue disclosures are available in the source data. The company maintains active operations, evidenced by a refreshed privacy policy effective September 18, 2025, and ongoing recruitment activity via a public Notion-hosted careers page.
