The Playsum-verse

At its heart, Playsum is a game company that values world-building and storytelling. The Playsum-verse is a regularly expanding world with its own environments and a cast full of diverse characters.

Members will be able to explore this world as it develops through short stories, comics, music, and of course games. Stories will range from grounded to slice-of-life to epic adventures with high stakes.

We're writing the LitRPG web novel Plots of Panoros and in early development of an indie farm sim, which both take place in our science fantasy world.
