NoRyte Studios is an independent game studio founded in Türkiye. We work so that every one of our games is remembered later on. We see games as an inheritance passed down to the generations that follow. Our first, Groovekeeper, has been on Steam since 30 October 2026.

Every day you enter a three-storey office building on a single assignment. An entity called Aegis, spread through the whole building, watches your every moment, and you know it, because you are the one assigned to keep it running. Your end comes either at Aegis's hand or at your own.

### Proje CS

İsimsiz bir sahil kasabasında geçen tek kişilik şehir kurma oyunu. Yolu çiziyorsun, imar izni veriyorsun ve binaların ortaya çıkışını izliyorsun. Seni durduracak tek şey yine sensin.
