About Sabotage Studio

Sabotage Studio is a video game studio in Quebec City, founded in 2016. It makes retro-inspired games, with pixel art and music that recall the classics of the 1990s, including The Messenger and Sea of Stars.

Its games suit players who grew up with older consoles, and newer players curious about that style. Sea of Stars, a turn-based role-playing game, is a cozy pick for long winter evenings. The Messenger, a fast action platformer, suits shorter sessions. The studio shows that Quebec City, not only Montreal, has a strong place in the province's game industry.
