What We Do

Our Games

Our first game, Dream & Sugar, is coming out in 2024! We hope you enjoy it! Couch Lion Studios is a collective of gamers and game-makers who get to lead the projects we want to work on and create. Our next project is going to be a fun Idle game. We will post more information as the creative process continues!

How It Works

Each game is just a starting point for our adventure. We like to stay connected to our players with meet-ups and gameplay events. Check out our events section or follow us on social media to see what is happening next.

Looking to the Future

We welcome your feedback and keep working to make each game better than the last. Drop us a line, and have a voice in what we build next.
