About the Studio

Small team. Real games.

Coreffect Interactive was founded in 2020 as an indie game studio based in Montreal, Canada. The company was federally incorporated on January 18, 2024 under the Canada Business Corporations Act, operating as a non-distributing corporation.

We focus on innovative strategy games for PC — from colony sims set in ancient Rome to modern reimaginings of classic board games. Our approach is small-team, high-craft: work directly on the game, iterate fast, and ship things players actually want to play.

We make strategy games that reward thinking — not clicking. — Coreffect Interactive

Our Games

Strategy, built to last.

Build, survive, and defend an ancient Roman colony. Manage prosperity, honour the gods, and stand against mythical beasts and barbarian invasions. Over 60 historically accurate building types, procedurally generated worlds, and deep survival systems.

Laser Chess

A modern digital adaptation of the classic Laser Chess concept — inspired by Khet and the original 1980s puzzle game. Move mirrors, rotate pieces, and use special abilities to destroy the enemy king with your laser.

Our Approach

Four things we believe in.

Coreffect is a small studio with strong opinions about game design. These are the things that guide every project.

01

Systems Over Spectacle

We build deep, interlocking systems that reward mastery — not flashy visuals with nothing underneath.

02

Replayability

Strategy games should be played hundreds of times. We design for emergent play, not scripted campaigns.

03

Direct Development

Small team, direct decisions. We ship when it's ready — and we stay close to our community through every build.

04

Historical Respect

When we set a game in the past, we do the research. Real history is stranger and richer than fiction.
