Studio Gutheil is an Independent Game Developer based in Hamburg Germany. Creating worlds of tension, local myth, and haunting beauty.
Our upcoming debut project Welken is an episodic horror game set in rural Germany during the early 90s. Drawing from local folklore, rural traditions, and a lingering sense of unease. Welken evokes the quiet dread of a night when our homes belong to the dead.
Studio Gutheil and the production of Welken are supported by „Press Start: Games Founding Grant“, a program helping 132 creative minds in Germany’s games sector establish their own studios. The Games Founding Grant is organized by game – The German Games Industry Association in cooperation with the Foundation for Digital Games Culture. It is funded by the Minister of State for Culture and the Media.
