Studio Cypher is a game development studio in Bloomington, Indiana founded by Will Emigh, Nathan Mishler, and Ian Pottmeyer in 2005.[1] The studio creates games combining video game technology with real-world interaction, which the studio refers to as "non-games".[2]
Games
[edit | edit source]Studio Cypher's first independent project was a series of alternate reality game interactive online novels, "The Cyphers Episodes". The story appeared over multiple websites with embedded puzzles.[3] Players were able to pay a subscription fee to enhance their experience of the novels.[4]
The studio created six games for The Field Museum of Natural History's Ancient Americas exhibit[2] illustrating aspects of innovation in ancient technology.[5]
In 2013, Studio Cypher used Kickstarter to fund their game Stickers In Public,[6] which places physical, moveable stickers with game rules around a public space.[7] Nathan Mishler debuted the game at E3 2013, and it was showcased at IndieCade.[6] The studio created a version of Stickers in Public for TEDxBloomington in 2013.[8]
In 2019, the studio published Diorama Detective, a family-friendly AR mystery game.[9]
