Things For Humans

About Us

Things For Humans is a pop-music video game studio based in Melbourne, Australia, specializing in creating unique, music-driven gaming experiences that blend synth-pop aesthetics with interactive storytelling.

After the release of our award-winning debut game Video World in 2021 (PC, Switch), we are now working on an exciting follow-up title that continues our vision of creating joyful, musical gaming experiences.

Our Games

• Video World - PC, Switch: Video World is a synth-pop halloween musical about working at a video store, based on 3 original songs from synth-pop artist Monster Mansion. Sing and complete rhythmic challenges while you decorate a video store for halloween and make friends with a magical pumpkin! This critically acclaimed debut showcases our unique approach to blending music, narrative, and gameplay.

• A Halloween Valentine's: Coming soon! Our next musical adventure is currently in development.

How We Work

We offer a 4-day work week (paid at full-time wages with 4 weeks annual leave per annum, but only 30.4 hours of work per week!), approach game development as a structured, healthy, and safe professional passion, and work in a gorgeous co-working space (ACMI X) among other screen-industry folks.

Our small, dedicated team of 4 creates a collaborative environment where creativity thrives and work-life balance is genuinely prioritized. We believe that sustainable development practices lead to better games and happier teams.

Work Environment

Based at ACMI X (the Australian Centre for the Moving Image's creative hub), we're surrounded by fellow creative professionals in Melbourne's screen industry. This vibrant co-working space provides opportunities for collaboration, inspiration, and connection with the broader creative community.
