Apps & games you can’t stop recommending.

An independent studio from Germany. We build small, private tools for tidying up and everyday life, loving worlds for the little ones – and deep strategy games for everyone who likes to think things through.

From the workshop

Ten worlds we’re building

Released or deep in production – this is what we’re pouring our hearts into right now.

Summgarten – the singing garden with creatures on the flower beds
On the App Store, Microsoft Store & Google Play

Summgarten

Singing garden · iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac & Windows · ages 3+

Your child’s voice becomes a seed: every recorded sound grows a plant or a little creature that sings it back in rhythm – until a tiny orchestra appears. No ads, no in-app purchases, no data collection.

Bruno the beaver celebrates a repaired bike
On the Microsoft Store

Little Fixer (Kleiner Reparierer)

Workshop game · Windows · ages 3–6

Bruno the beaver runs a workshop, and the village animals bring him their broken things. Your child figures out what fits by trying: fixing, cleaning, painting – no reading required and no way to fail.

Good Night, Toys – toys in a child’s room in the evening
In the works

Good Night, Toys

Interactive picture book · iPhone & iPad · ages 3+

Every toy had a big day. Your child gives each one a small, loving goodnight – a calm picture book to play along with, made for the last minutes before sleep.

Kontor – a Hamburg trading house around 1600
In preparation

Kontor

Economic & strategy game · iPad, Mac, PC

Hamburg, 1600. Your seal. Your risk. You run a trading house and invent insurance – dealing in danger and building your own statistics from letters, ship lists and death registers.

Germ Theory – cutaway of a hospital ward
In production

Germ Theory

Hospital building sim · Steam

“The germs are real. Nobody believes you.” Run a hospital in a port city between 1875 and 1892 – the years when medicine moved from miasma to microbes. Every discovery is real, every step forward hard-won.

Breach Inc. – a basement IT security office at night
In development

Breach Inc.

Management-Sim · Mac, PC, iPhone & iPad

The night shift is yours. Run a small IT security firm from a basement office: win clients, assign admins, buy protection – and decide how much margin to sacrifice before the next phishing wave hits.

Sovereign Rig – a colourfully built-up oil platform as a micronation at sunset
In development

Sovereign Rig

City-building & political satire · PC (Steam & Microsoft Store)

Found your own state on a decommissioned oil platform in the North Sea. Build upwards deck by deck, keep crypto pioneers, an eco commune and tax exiles happy, and fight for what a micronation lacks most: recognition. With storm season, the coast guard and the state broadcaster “Radio Platform 1”.

Lancet & Linen – a barber-surgeon in his bathhouse in the year 1382
In development

Lancet & Linen

Medieval life & practice simulation · PC (Steam & Microsoft Store)

Franconia, 1382: as a barber-surgeon you run a bathhouse and practice, treat patients with the means of the time, learn from masters, travel overland and keep your household together. The former browser game is becoming an extensive full version – thoroughly researched and open about where it simplifies.

Brinehold – a North Sea island with dike and ferry as a storm gathers
In development

Brinehold (working title)

Island builder · PC

The water rises on a public tide table. Build dikes and sluices, move buildings and ferry residents to safety in time – before the highest tide arrives on the last day.

Maladoro – a chateau turned luxury clinic in the Alps
Prototype

Maladoro (working title)

Satirical clinic builder · PC

Build the most expensive private clinic in the Alps, invent ever costlier ailments for the rich and stall inspectors and lawyers. A wicked comedy about greed.

The studio

What we stand for

Minh Nguyen Studios is a small, independent studio. We make fewer games – and make each one as if it were the only one.

Wonder

Every world should feel like a small gift at first sight.

Respect for kids

Games for children without pressure, without tricks, and with parents in mind.

Real depth

Systems you explore for hours – easy to learn, hard to master.

History, taken seriously

Historical games, carefully researched and open about where they simplify.
