About Kitfox Games

Kitfox Games is an independent video game studio in Montréal, founded in 2013. It makes and publishes quirky, character-driven games, including Boyfriend Dungeon, a dating sim where your weapons are also your love interests. The studio also published the Steam edition of Dwarf Fortress, bringing the cult classic to a wider audience.

Kitfox suits players who enjoy offbeat stories and games with heart rather than big-budget blockbusters. Its titles are a cozy pick for a long winter weekend at home. Montréal is a major game development city, and Kitfox shows the creative indie side of that scene.
