Free games. Truly yours. Forever.
We are committed to making games with zero cost to play, zero ads, zero pay-to-win, and zero shady monetization. Download them, keep them, share them — they're yours the moment you have them. We're funded entirely by people who believe that's worth supporting.
$0 to play
Every game, no purchase, no subscription, no paywall.
No ads, ever
Your attention isn't for sale. Not to us, not to anyone.
No pay-to-win
No microtransactions, no loot boxes, no money-grab skins.
You own it
Download it, keep it offline, share it. It's yours.
Ownership, not access
Most games today are rented to you — tied to a launcher, an account, or a live-service switch someone else controls. We think that's backwards.
"When you have one of our games, it's yours. Not licensed to you. Not tied to a service that can disappear. Yours — to keep, to copy, to hand to a friend on a USB drive if you want to."— The Pie Time Studio Manifesto
We run entirely on donations
No investors, no ad networks, no store cuts baked into a price tag. Just people who play our games and decide it's worth chipping in. If that sounds impossible — that's kind of the point.
Patronage-first
Development is funded by ongoing donations and community support, not by selling access to the games themselves.
Transparent by default
We want supporters to see where their support goes — that's part of the deal we're building.
Small, sustainable, honest
We're not chasing hyper-growth. We're testing whether honest games can support themselves.
We're just getting started.
Follow along as we build our first game and figure this out in the open.
