LITHOS STRATAGEM
A grand strategy simulator built on geological timescales. Manage a civilization that measures success in millennia, navigating shifting tectonic plates and slow atmospheric decay.
A catalog of digital works, systemic experiments, and conceptual prototypes from the Milan-based studio.
Our games aren't content pipelines; they are ecosystems. We focus on the interplay of mechanics that evoke specific emotional responses. Whether it’s the heavy, ink-stained shadows of our noir titles or the brutalist precision of our strategy simulators, every project begins with a single question: "What does this feel like when no one is playing it?"
Fieldnotion titles often dwell in the space between indie game grit and high-art conceptualism. We build systems that reward patience, observation, and systemic literacy.
"We avoid traditional 'victory loops' in favor of narrative inertia. In Fieldnotion games, progress is measured by what you've learned about the world, not just your score."

An atmospheric narrative adventure where you play as an operator at a forgotten listening station. Decipher signals from the deep void using authentic 1970s acoustic hardware.
A spatial-reasoning puzzle prototype. Manipulate non-Euclidean architecture to reconnect broken memory paths. Currently in active user-testing and conceptual refinement.
Our games are built on proprietary engines and bespoke frameworks. We believe in transparency of process—sharing how we achieve our specific "ink-and-grit" visual fidelity.
