ABOUT US
Kallisti Games is a team of proven industry subject-matter experts, led by a publishing executive with 2 decades of experience in independent games, platform relations, product design, marketing and distribution. We operate as a small, focused collective sublabel under Akupara Games, who we work with as co-publisher for legal, finance, biz dev and localization support.
We believe strange games still deserve boring spreadsheets - and that both can coexist peacefully.
