About Us

Welcome to PiRhoSoft! We are an independent development studio started by two brothers in Seattle, Washington.

We have two commercially released games (The Art of War and Photon Phanatics), but we specialize in creating tools to empower other amateur and professional developers.

Check out our open source Unity tools including the Composition Framework and Unity Utilities Suite or visit our GitHub for other various projects we have worked on.

Some of our favorite games include Ocarina of Time, Beyond Good and Evil, Eternal Darkness, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Outer Wilds (not Worlds!) and Advent Rising (where is our sequel Mustard Brothers?!).
