Independent game studio · Vietnam
We take what Vietnam has played and loved for generations — woodblock prints, card tables, puppet theatre, the earth itself — and shape it into games for today. Sometimes we invent a whole new way to play.
Our games
Draw a line. Print the score. Wake the dragon.
A roguelike puzzle set in a traditional woodblock print workshop, inspired by the Đông Hồ folk prints of Vietnam. Every line you draw is a pass of the press: carved blocks lift, ink lands on the paper, and your score is stamped onto the receipt strip — Chips × Mult, in the exact order it is calculated.
An ordinary Pair. Five Jokers. Millions of points.
A roguelike deckbuilder built on Tiến lên, the card game Vietnam plays at every Tết gathering. You already know the hands. This game is about breaking the math behind them.
Shovel the very ground you stand on.
A puzzle with a mechanic you won’t find anywhere else: you stand on the board you are solving. Heavy slabs sink, light slabs rise — and when nothing is left beneath you, the layer you throw is you.
What we make
Đông Hồ prints, chèo clowns, Tễu the water puppet, Tết at the card table. Our worlds are drawn from the folk art we grew up with — researched, not borrowed as decoration.
Rules everyone already knows — like Tiến lên — become the grammar of a deep strategy game. You start with an instinct, and find a world of combinations.
We also design mechanics that have never existed before. In UNDERFOOT, you stand on the puzzle you are solving.
Why “ToHe”?
Tò he are tiny figures that Vietnamese artisans shape from colored rice dough and sell on bamboo sticks at village fairs — dragons, buffalo, heroes from old stories. Simple material, a few quick twists of the hand, and something comes alive.
That is how we want to make games: start from humble, familiar things and shape them, with care, into something that delights.
