More about Jacob
The studio
Stitchwork Studios
An independent game studio. We make games in every genre, and horror is where we do our best work: games that build dread slowly and reward players who pay attention.
Who we are
SWSStitchwork Studios, or SWS, is a small team with clear roles.
We are building the studio, the game and the community together. Our first game is Stay Awhile, an open-world survival psychological horror game with an element of sandbox, currently in development.
The logo says it well: a gear for the machinery of making games, and a needle and thread for the care that holds it together.

Our goals01
A horror game with its own identity
We want Stay Awhile to stand out: slow dread, places that shouldn't exist, and a world that rewards players who pay attention.
02
A game built with its community
Closed playtesting, then open playtesting, then Early Access. We want players in the room long before release, and their ideas on the table.
03
A release on Steam and Epic
The goal is to bring Stay Awhile to both the Steam and Epic Games stores.
04
A studio that lasts
Horror is where we do our best work, but we want SWS to make games in every genre, one carefully made game at a time.
Be part of it
Follow the build, tell us what you think, or help us make the game better.
