Independent Game Studio
Riftide is an independent game studio based in Finland consisting of an experienced team of developers: we're ambitious and driven, with strong backgrounds in game dev, marketing and storytelling.
Our mission is to craft unforgettable story-driven games: places to step into, experiences to feel, and stories that stay with you long after the game ends. We aim to become a trusted creator of narrative-rich games that bring fresh and unique voices to the game studio landscape.
Tidewatch is a narrative-driven mystery RPG set in the Finnish archipelago, inspired by our unique nature and the special feeling of the Finnish summer. In Tidewatch, you are the Head of the Coast Guard searching for your missing friend. Navigate your crew’s relationships from rivalry to romance, as your bonds shift the weather, your skills, and tactical turn-based combat.
