THE STUDIO

An ututuco (or tuco-tuco) is a little burrowing rodent from South America: it lives underground, digs endless tunnels and you hear it before you see it: tuc-tuc, tuc-tuc.

That's how we want our games to be: you hear about them from afar, and once you're in the tunnel there's no getting out. We're a tiny indie studio making games with hand-painted pixels, chiptune music and plenty of mate. We love short, weird, memorable games with stories rooted in our land: giant cacti, endless roads and countryside legends.

No microtransactions, no loot boxes. Just games you finish and remember.
