5am Games
5am Games is a game studio based in beautiful Zurich.
We focus on creative, charming games with meaningful interactions and a good dose of silly humour.
We are
inclusive
In our games we show authentic characters instead of stereotypes. As an all women's team, it is especially important to us to reach female players who are otherwise ignored by the industry.
responsible
Video games are a powerful medium. We are aware of this responsibility and therefore focus on meaningful interactive stories without unnecessary violence.
Swiss made
We are proud to be part of the innovative Swiss gaming industry. We always strive to create high-quality products and deliver them on time.what we do
Our Projects
Letters is a fun word puzzle game about friendship, growing up and finding your place in life. Follow Sarah, a shy girl from Switzerland, by moving through her pen pal letters and chat messages. Use the power of words to solve riddles, interact with her friends and decide who she will grow up to be.
Contract Work
As research assistants of the ZHdK we have realized a prototype on behalf of the ZHdK / ZHAW / PH Zurich, which is aimed at children with writing difficulties.
Using a variety of exercises, first graders playfully practice their writing motor skills by creating and delivering cakes.
