About

We make small,
strange,
unnecessary things.

Unnecessary Games is an independent game studio based in Minnesota. We make experimental games, weird mechanics, and focused projects that explore unusual ideas.

Sometimes they're serious. Mostly they're unnecessary.

We believe games are a space for curiosity, absurdity, and play. So we make the things nobody asked for — and we're happier for it.

Same weirdos. Different games.
