About Us
Independent. Building. Learning.
We're a small independent studio making mobile games we'd actually want to play. We build from learning from our own mobile experience.
Our Story
Dauchiel started with a simple idea: why not make mobile games that respect the player's intelligence? No dark patterns, no endless ads interrupting the flow — just clean mechanics, satisfying progression, and the kind of design that makes you feel clever when you crack it. Feel smarter after playing? You're welcome.
We're an independent studio, which means every decision — from the colour of the gems (in our debut game) to the difficulty curve of the levels — all made because we think it makes the game better, not because a committee signed off on it. We are a VERY SMALL team so we welcome EVERY feedback, you never know, we might add your suggestion to the build!
Portal Glide is our debut title and the first expression of what we're about. We're taking our time to get it right. We started as a hobby, using old skills and learning new ones. Be a part of our story...
What We Stand For
Our Values
Craft Over Speed
We'd rather ship one polished game than three rushed ones. Every mechanic, level, and visual is considered before it ships.
Player First
We design for the person holding the phone. Intuitive controls, fair difficulty, and zero dark patterns — always.
Honest Creativity
Independent means we answer to our players, not investors (we would like investors that also play our games). That freedom lets us take creative risks and build something genuinely original and our players would love.
Always Improving
We're a growing studio. We learn from every build, every playtest, and every piece of feedback — and we use it to get better.
