Cree and Métis game developers from Saskatchewan announce our first game on Steam

Tânisi / hello everyone,

I hope it's okay to share this here.

We're a small independent game studio from treaty 6, Saskatchewan, Canada, and we've recently launched the Steam page for our very first game, Kitch Witch, which is now in active development.

Our team is entirely Cree and Métis. Our Creative Director is a proud member of the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan. Our composer and technical lead, who is Cree from Waterhen Lake First Nation, is composing the game's original soundtrack, and our artist is from Big River First Nation. Together, we're trying to build games rooted in Indigenous sovereignty, accessibility, reciprocity with community, and knowledge sharing.

One of our biggest goals for this project is to eventually localize the game into Plains Cree and Northern Michif. To the best of our knowledge, this could make it one of the first original, non-educational commercial video games to support these languages. The localization work isn't complete yet, and we want to approach it thoughtfully and respectfully, but we believe our languages belong in every space, including games.

Growing up, many of us didn't see ourselves, our communities, or our languages reflected in the games we played. We hope this project can be one small step toward changing that.

We're still very early in this journey and learning as we go. If anyone has advice, thoughts, resources, or would like to share what Indigenous representation in games means to them, we'd genuinely love to hear from you.

And if you'd like to follow along or support the project, you can check out our Steam page and wishlist the game here:

Thank you for reading. It's exciting, and honestly a little surreal, to be bringing a game like this into the world from rural Saskatchewan. ❤️

Our cozy narrative cooking game Kitch Witch is available to wishlist on Steam! ✨

Hi everyone!!

We’ve just launched our studio publicly alongside the Steam page for our debut title, Kitch Witch, which is now in active development and available to wishlist.

Beyond the game itself, we’re also beginning work on an Indigenous language initiative for the project. Our intention is for the game to eventually support localization in both Plains Cree and Northern Michif, which we believe would represent one of the first efforts of its kind in a commercial non-educational video game.

We’re a small team building our first title, but our focus is on creating games rooted in accessibility, Indigenous sovereignty, community reciprocity, and queer representation. This project is very personal to us, and we’re excited to begin sharing it publicly.

Kitch Witch is a cozy, narrative life-sim and cooking game about grief, healing, and social responsibility. After the passing of your grandmother, you leave the Medical Magic Academy and return home to take over her enchanted culinary clinic, where food is medicine for adventurers that seek your help. What begins as restoring a small practice becomes an unfurling adventure that balances clinic rushes with slow, soulful craft.

Thanks so much for checking it out! Please wishlist and share around if you want to support cozy queer and Indigenous video games! ❤️

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life was my favourite game as a kid, now I'm making my own cozy cooking game inspired by it!

The game is called Kitch Witch, and we will have a Steam page up very soon!

Thought I would share a couple screenshots from the game! I was really inspired by the vibe of the cabins on your farm property. A bit of a warmer look and a bit closer to N64 in terms of aesthetic, but I like where things are going!

Keep in mind we're pretty early in development still 😊

Also delete if not allowed- not sure if art inspired by these games is allowed here, couldn't find anything in the rules! 🙏
