Who We Are

We named our studio Crescendo because it perfectly captures our journey - starting small and growing louder together. (And yes, it was totally coincidental that a team member's cat shares the same name).

Founded in 2023 by Carnegie Mellon students, we're now a team of 11 developers from 7 countries, bringing together our skills in visual art, music programming, and game design. United by our passion for games, we create experiences that we hope will stay with players.
