Boilerplate
Ready to paste, in three lengths. Please use one of these rather than paraphrasing the fact sheet.
0n1 Studios is an independent game studio making privacy-first games for mobile and desktop — no ads, no trackers, no manipulative monetization.
0n1 Studios (pronounced "Oni") is an independent game studio founded in Canada in 2026. It makes carefully built, atmosphere-first games for mobile and desktop on a single rule: games should earn your attention, not harvest it. Its first release, LineBy, is a daily quote puzzle on the App Store; Runoff, Worldwright, Duels, Everywhen, Adventure and Rockstar are in development.
0n1 Studios (pronounced "Oni", written with a zero) is an independent, self-published game studio founded in Canada in May 2026. It makes carefully built, atmosphere-first games for mobile and desktop, held to a rule the studio applies to every title: no ads, no third-party trackers, and no monetization designed to wear you down. Games are free to play or cost one fair, one-time price — never a subscription, an energy timer or a loot box.
Its first release, LineBy, is a daily word puzzle built from 315 hand-picked quotes across history, film and music, free on the App Store with a single $0.99 unlock for the full library. Worldwright, a rise-and-fall civilization builder spanning nine ages, is playable now as a free browser demo. Runoff, a bright cel-shaded pipe-surfing racer for iOS, Android and Steam, is in beta testing. Duels, Everywhen, Adventure and Rockstar are in development.
The studio builds in public: its development journal documents what shipped, what broke and what it cost, at 0n1studios.com/journal.
What makes 0n1 different
- No ads in any 0n1 game. Not a banner, not an interstitial, not a "watch a video to continue" — in any title, released or planned.
- No third-party trackers, and no advertising identifiers. Where a game collects anything at all, it is anonymous, disclosed, and switchable off in Settings: Duels includes optional opt-out analytics (TelemetryDeck) and reports a hashed per-vendor device identifier, never the advertising identifier. Runoff, LineBy, Everywhen, Worldwright, Adventure and Rockstar carry no analytics SDK at all.
- One fair price, or nothing. LineBy's entire business model is a single optional $0.99 unlock. No subscriptions, no consumables, no second charge.
- Your data stays on your device. LineBy plays fully offline; what it syncs travels through the player's own iCloud, not a 0n1 server. No 0n1 game requires an account — Worldwright offers an optional one for saves that follow you between devices, and guest play stays the default.
- Built in public. The development journal publishes the work as it happens, including the parts that went wrong.
