Our mission is to create video games as a result of inspiration, with simple but fascinating gameplay dynamics to engage players in a deep story-driven experience.

Our focus lies on emotions, and we view video games as all-around works of art. We’re willing to experiment and analyze the human spirit. Our first project, called Hungerless, deals with a current and relevant topic: eating disorders.

Giulia Vassena - Bastet Paw Founder

The Author

Giulia Vassena is a writer and the author of Hungerless. She began experimenting with words writing poetry in her teenage years. After publishing a collection of poems, she dedicated herself to short stories, some of which appeared in magazines. She is currently working on her first novel. Considering video games a fully-fledged art form akin to cinema and literature, Giulia fully embraces the concept of video game authorship: giving relevance to the many peculiarities found in the game world as well as the writing and vision of whomever directs the work, also placing great emphasis on character growth and the overall message.
