We are Deep Etch Games
Deep Etch Games is a family run Indie Games Company. Formed during lockdown, the founders realised that they could take their deep knowledge of the games industry and start building their own games. Sadly, full time jobs and education got in the way for too long, but in 2024, the father and son team, supported by their long suffering friends and family started the design, manufacturing and publishing of their first title.
