Newly founded
Croissant Games was founded by creative consultant and solopreneur Claire Rozain. Based in France, the studio aims to blend traditional French themes with modern game trends.
“At Croissant Games, we combine the art of French craftsmanship with the excitement of interactive storytelling to create games that are as satisfying as a fresh croissant with rapid prototyping. Our mission is to bake up small, flavorful gaming experiences that delight players, delivering a taste of French culture in every bite. We’re all about serving up bite-sized fun with layers of rich gameplay,” Said Rozain on LinkedIn.
