Five Dog Games, and the Five-Dog Night
A small Swedish game studio making finished, self-contained games, including a Norse logic-grid puzzler and an experimental peer-to-peer MMO.
Field notes
The studio describes Nordstones as a logic-grid puzzle in which players paint stones dark or light and interpret runes; every board is stated to have exactly one solution, and a board editor is planned as part of the release. Its second project, Mycel, is an early open-world MMO experiment using pure peer-to-peer networking instead of game servers. The site also explains that the five-dog name refers to Buddha, Tara, Hope, Ludde, and Buddha Junior.
