VeenlichtSix people, one polder
Veenlicht Interactive is a small independent studio in Utrecht. We started in 2023 after a game jam prototype about water refused to leave our heads, and we have been working on Polderfall full-time since 2024.
We like games that respect your time and reward planning. We work four days a week, ship playtest builds every few weeks, and read every report that comes in.
The studio is self-funded with support from a regional games fund. We are not looking for investment, but we are always happy to talk to other studios, festivals and researchers who work on water and climate.
“Veenlicht” is the light over the peat meadows just before a storm. If you have seen it, you know.
