Penelope's
Game
A cozy educational reading game made for our daughter. Parents can add school assignments and choose reading levels; kids get stories, plush friends and a room to make their own.
Penelope's Game is a tentative title. Development screenshots show the current playtest build.
A note from downstairs
It started with
“what if?”
RadDad Basement Studio is an independent studio built around a simple pleasure: making something imaginative and sharing it with the people you love.
Shark Tales began with a daughter's spark of an idea, a wife's patience and encouragement, and a son's enthusiasm for the soundtrack and playtesting. Penelope's Game began with our daughter's reading journey.
That spirit is our starting point. Characters with a little mischief. Worlds with something to discover. And a good reason for one more go.
Keep in touch
There’s room
on the sofa.
Follow our games as they take shape, from an unlikely crew beneath the waves to a cozy world built around reading.
