About Quark Tales

Stories Become Worlds

We believe the greatest games begin with the greatest stories — written by the people who dreamed them first.

Our Manifesto

Everygreatcivilizationleftbehinditsstories.

Epics sung around fires. Legends carved into stone. Tales passed from one generation to the next — because they mattered.

We believe those stories deserve more than a bookshelf.

They deserve to be lived.

The Vision

The Future of Story-Driven Gaming

Quark Tales is a game studio built on a radical idea: the best interactive worlds already exist — inside books. We find extraordinary stories from authors around the world and transform them into immersive gaming experiences, always in deep partnership with the creator.

We don't adapt stories. We expand them. The author's world becomes the player's world — faithful to its soul, amplified by interactivity.

Our Mission

Bridge the Page and the Screen

To discover untold stories from every culture and give them a second life as games — preserving the author's vision while unlocking new dimensions only interactivity can reveal.

The Process

From Page to Play

Every Quark Tales game follows the same deliberate path — story first, always.

01

Discover

We seek out extraordinary stories — manuscripts, published novels, oral traditions. Stories with worlds so vivid they demand to be explored.

02

Publish

The story is released as a book first. Readers experience the world in its purest literary form. The narrative stands on its own.

03

Build

With the author as creative partner, we transform the story into an interactive world — expanding lore, designing systems, and crafting experiences true to the source.

04

Play

The game launches. Players don't just consume the story — they live inside it, shaping their own path through the author's world.

What We Stand For

Our Beliefs

Author First

The creator's vision is sacred. We amplify it, never override it. Every game we make is a collaboration, not an acquisition.

Cultural Truth

We don't sanitize stories for global markets. Serbian knights stay Serbian. Japanese myths stay Japanese. Authenticity is not a constraint — it's the point.

Craft Over Speed

We'd rather ship one extraordinary game than five forgettable ones. Every world we build is meant to endure.

Stories Are Everywhere

The next great game might come from a manuscript in Belgrade, a folk tale from Oaxaca, or an epic poem from Addis Ababa. We look where others don't.

Your Story Could Be Next

We're always looking for extraordinary stories that deserve to be played. If you've written a world that won't fit inside a page — we want to hear from you.
