AN INDEPENDENT SWISS STUDIO
A Swiss studio. An independent spirit.
Based near Orbe, in northern Vaud. A big-hearted rogue, honest scales and the joy of creating.
OUR SWISS ROOTS
A den
in northern Vaud.
Honest Goblin Studio is Steve Piermaria’s independent studio, based near Orbe, Switzerland. This is where our original creations and the Unfaked collection take shape.
Lake Neuchâtel, Le Suchet and Le Chasseron give this region its familiar face. Local roots, and a desire to create worlds open to players everywhere.

One den, three worlds.
Honest Goblin Studio / near Orbe
Honest Goblin Studio is Steve Piermaria’s independent project. It starts with a simple idea: create games you buy once and can then enjoy in full.
The studio is taking shape near Orbe, in northern Vaud. Lake Neuchâtel and the Jura ridges are part of the everyday landscape; the worlds imagined in the den can take us much further.
Fallen District, Chambre Noir and Echo explore three directions: strategy, mystery and survival. One commitment connects them: present the projects honestly and share their progress in the journal.

EVERYDAY LIFE, FOR REAL
Orbe.
Where our worlds begin.
An old town, Lake Neuchâtel nearby and the Jura on the horizon. The Nord vaudois region grounds the studio before the journey into other worlds.

FROM REALITY TO IMAGINATION
A Swiss horizon.
Worlds to share.
A real photograph from Le Suchet, followed by three artistic visions. A journey from the landscape around us to the worlds we create.
A knowing grin.
A clear promise.
An independent studio creating complete games you buy once. From original projects to the Unfaked collection: one complete game, one price, paid once.
In games, goblins love to hoard riches. Ours does things his own way: he takes one coin, just once, and gives you the whole game.
That honesty goes hand in hand with our curiosity. Fallen District’s strategy, Chambre Noir’s mystery and Echo’s shelter management open three very different doors in the den.
Play for the joy of it.
Worlds that make you want to explore. All our attention goes into the experience, without advertising interruptions.
A fair deal.
A complete experience with one purchase. No subscriptions, in-app purchases or virtual currency to buy.
Whole games.
A maker’s spirit, a love of finished work and pride in offering a complete game.
Two lines. The same promise.
Our original creations explore worlds imagined by Honest Goblin Studio. With Unfaked, we reimagine mobile game concepts trapped behind microtransactions as complete games. The model stays the same: buy the game once and enjoy the whole experience.
