Develop
Original work, made in-house.
We design, build, and ship our own games. First out of the forge: Oathforge Idle, a Viking idle RPG. Play Online is live.
The games
The Primal Side LLC
The Primal Side
An independent studio. We develop original games and publish other people’s work — after it clears the bar.
The studio
Built to make games. Formed to publish them.
The Primal Side LLC exists so the games we’ve been making have a proper home — a company that can develop, ship, and stand behind them.
We also publish other developers. Every project is vetted for quality and clean rights. AI-assisted work is welcome if the product holds up.
About the studioPublish
A home for other people’s fire.
Solo makers and small teams. We vet for quality and copyright. We do not reject a game because AI helped make it.

Oathforge Idle
Forge your oath. Idle your legend. Viking idle RPG.
The craft
Campaigns come later. The work comes first.
We care about feel — the weight of a decision, the silence before a reveal, the thing a player remembers with their body, not their feed. If a game doesn’t have that, we don’t ship it.
Making something that belongs here?
Press, partnerships, and game submissions all go through the same door.
