Semidome

Semidome (Semidome Inc.) is a Canadian independent video game developer and digital creative studio. The studio describes itself as creating "beautiful digital experiences," and its output spans atmospheric video games for iOS, tvOS, and Steam, as well as music released on Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp. Its work has been covered by outlets including The Washington Post, IGN, New York Magazine, TechCrunch, Vice, Financial Post, The Next Web, FACT Magazine, and the University of Toronto, and has been featured in an App Store Story. Semidome's game catalogue is built around mood, minimalism, and exploration. Nightgate, set in the year 2398 where a network of computers is the last remaining life form on Earth, was released for iOS, tvOS, and Steam and drew praise from The Daily Dot ("Stunning") and Apple. Last Voyage is a cosmic adventure across space and mind in ten chapters for iOS, described by Pocket Gamer as "like going through the Star Gate in 2001: A Space Odyssey" and by Vice as "minimal and seductive." AR Runner is a competitive augmented reality running game for iOS, while Dark Wave (iOS, tvOS) is an endless winding-road game and Smash Puck (iOS, tvOS) is a ball-sport mashup. Kotoro is an atmospheric color-mixing puzzle game for iOS. The studio's most ambitious project is Still Stars Echo, an atmospheric science-fiction journey across distant alien landscapes that Semidome says has been nearly a decade in the making. It is positioned as an ode to colossal architecture, distant futures, and the remnants of lost civilizations, with a dedicated website, a Steam wishlist page, a trailer, and a press kit. Beyond games, Semidome releases music. Its latest single, "Crimson Moon," is a dark, synth-driven track with an accompanying all-red music video, and its latest album is titled The New Era. Music is distributed through Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp. The studio maintains a presence across YouTube, TikTok, X, Bluesky, and Linktree, and operates from Canada as a private independent company.
