Services

Beyond Play. Into Creation.

At The Company, we do not merely tell stories—we help you build the machines that generate them. Our studio extends its reach beyond our own worlds, offering a range of services for creators, studios, and visionaries seeking to shape the extraordinary.

Whether you’re crafting your first tabletop role-playing game, polishing a fractured setting that refuses to cohere, or pushing the limits of interaction between analog and digital storytelling, we operate as your silent partner—resolute, obsessive, and invisible when needed.

What we offer is not a menu. It is a pact. A promise to treat your work with the same reverence and disquiet with which we treat our own.

Game Design Consulting

Structure the impossible.

We offer specialized guidance for the development of tabletop and narrative games. From core mechanics to balance, from absurdist metaphysics to bite-sized tactical elegance, we dissect and reconstruct systems to make them coherent, immersive, and unsettling in all the right ways.

  • Mechanical systems & resolution engines
  • Character creation flows & leveling structures
  • Balancing asymmetry & narrative consequences
  • Tone–mechanic alignment
  • Playtesting analysis

Narrative Design & Worldbuilding

We shape the shadows between your ideas.

The Company specializes in crafting unsettling, contradictory, and believable worlds. We help you give form to your setting, history, and tone—whether for a stand-alone zine, an expansive campaign setting, or a branching interactive narrative.

  • Narrative arcs & campaign structure
  • Factions, timelines, and thematic layering
  • Absurdity, dread, and humor: weaving contradictions
  • Naming conventions, lexicons, and cultural design

Layout & Print-Ready Design

Manuals are sacred grimoires.

Our layout services are precise, thematic, and tuned to the soul of each project. Whether it’s rulebooks, cards, or character sheets, we handle the unseen mathematics of page and silence.

  • Full manual layout (digital & print)
  • Print-ready card and deck design
  • Typography and visual rhythm
  • Integration of AI or traditional illustrations
  • Bilingual and international layout formatting

We become the hidden department in your studio.

  • Rulebook editors & sensitivity readers
  • Card or board prototype designers
  • TTRPG-specific project managers

Game Marketing Strategy

You created a world. Now guide them to its gates.

We help indie creators and small studios carve a path through the noise. With roots in the TTRPG scene and a taste for the unusual, we bring campaigns to life with thematic cohesion and disruptive presence.

  • Positioning & branding strategy
  • Social media & content planning
  • Crowdfunding campaign consulting
  • Community growth without compromise

Web & App Development

Extend the world. Digitally. Elegantly.

From minimal atmospheric websites to fully integrated digital tools, we develop complementary platforms that elevate the game experience without overshadowing it.

  • Landing pages & thematic web design
  • Digital character sheets & online tools
  • App development for mobile & tablet
  • Companion tools for VTT or AR platforms
  • Site infrastructure tailored to narrative ecosystems
