Introducing JISOGI: Pitch Room! A free DLC game mode for Jisogi: Anime Studio Tycoon
Instead of exploring all the aspects of running an Anime Studio, this game mode zooms in on a single creative meeting, where the team debates what the studio’s next big release should be.
Each player will pitch one script to the group, complete with Setting, Plot, and Twist. At the end, everyone votes to decide which story was the most captivating. The uniqueness of this mode comes from how players interact during the process, often leading to absurd elements that must be included in their stories.

Our new game, ELDERTIDE: A THOUSAND LIGHTS, is almost here!
On October 7, the Kickstarter campaign for the first game in the Eldertide trilogy will go live. This project has been a true milestone for us—we’ve grown into a larger, more experienced team, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved in both art and gameplay design.
We can’t wait to show you more. In the meantime, visit our pre-launch page to catch a first glimpse of the world of Eldertide and some exciting gameplay details.

Why board games?
We strongly believe in this hobby.
We have seen extraordinary game design/world-building concepts given life in the hands of small creative teams.
We have seen people of all ages reconnect outside of the virtual landscape.
We have seen beautiful products carefully designed to impress an audience that cares deeply about the quality of the craft.
Our mission is not only to be part of this trend but also to help elevate and connect the Japanese scene to the international community.

なぜボードゲーム？
ESPER STUDIOは、ボードゲームが持つ魅力と可能性を信じています。木製コマを動かし、カードを並べるたびに生まれる物語。ボードゲームは、人と人をつなげる魔法のような道具です。
デジタルが中心の時代に、ボードゲームは顔を合わせて楽しむ時間を作り出します。誰かと笑い合い、戦略を練り、驚きの展開に感動する――その体験は特別です。また、職人技が光る美しいデザインや手触りの良いパーツが、プレイヤーにワクワクを届けます。
私たちESPER STUDIOは、日本発のユニークな視点やストーリーを、ボードゲームという形で世界に届けたいと考えています。ただの遊び道具ではなく、新しい価値や文化を紡ぎ出すものを目指して、これからも挑戦を続けていきます。
