Overview
Redly Games is a Helsinki-based, remote-first game studio focused on developing free-to-play mobile 3D adventure games. It operates by prototyping its debut title, Project OASIS, a cross-platform Unreal Engine 5 game with a mobile-first launch that aims to foster pro-social interactions and supportive communities. The company earns revenue primarily through in-app purchases and live-service operations typical of F2P mobile games. They differentiate themselves by combining strong design and emotional depth with a mission to inspire optimism and positive social change, led by founder Thea Chow, who has deep experience from Supercell and other major game studios. The goal is to create enduring, community-building games that encourage cooperation, targeting a global audience while scaling via live operations and ongoing content.
