About Us
Gamers at Heart
Last Straw Games was founded in 2005 by CEO Jonathon Stevens. Jonathon wanted to build an Indie game studio where the games were the top priority, not the financial situation. Since Last Straw only chooses games and projects that we are passionate and excited about, we produce games that are fun, attractive and addictive.
​
Jonathon Stevens has been building virtual worlds and games since the early days of MUDS when he developed a MUD-like roleplaying talker codebase in 1996 based on White Wolf's Vampire the Masquerade. Jonathon has also been very successful in the business development world as a VP of Software Engineering. Jonathon is the founder and creative force behind the Indie MMO Game Developers Conference. "I'm Indie by heart, but a lot of game developers are. What's different about me is I'm able to be Indie by action as well."

Taking a pivot turn from our earlier games, we came together to develop a survival horror experience. It’s one of our most challenging, and by far the favorite among our team. It focuses on telling a fascinating story to our gamers through incredible imagery, action, interaction and animation.
