Running Pillow

Running Pillow is a small independent game studio based in the Czech Republic. According to its official website, the studio describes itself as "a small independent game studio dedicated to create games we like to create!" The studio's portfolio is centered on card-driven and dungeon-crawling titles, with games listed on its site including Quest Cards, Pocket Dungeon, Loot Hunters, Deck Warlords, Card Lords, Dungeon Loot, Cardstone and Guild Loot. The breadth of titles suggests a focus on collectible card game mechanics, roguelike dungeon exploration and loot-driven progression systems, which are popular genres in the independent and mobile gaming space. Running Pillow operates as a private, independent entity rather than a subsidiary of a larger publisher. Its web presence is hosted on the Webnode platform, and the site's footer carries a copyright notice dated 2016, indicating the studio has been active since at least that year. The studio maintains a direct-to-player distribution model through its own website and likely through digital storefronts, though specific platform availability is not detailed in the available evidence. The company also provides standard user-facing policies, including a privacy policy and an account deletion request page, which implies that at least some of its games involve user accounts or online services. This is consistent with modern indie game operations that combine single-player experiences with account-based features such as cloud saves, leaderboards or in-game purchases. As a small independent studio, Running Pillow's public profile is limited. It does not appear to have a Wikipedia entry, and its Wikidata item (Q62565447) exists but provides minimal structured information. The studio's identity is therefore best understood through its own official communications and game catalog. Its positioning is that of a creator-driven indie label focused on games the developers themselves enjoy making, rather than a large-scale commercial publisher targeting mass-market AAA releases.

Running Pillow is a small independent game studio based in the Czech Republic. The studio's official website presents it as "a small independent game studio dedicated to create games we like to create!" The footer of the website carries a copyright notice dated 2016, which is the earliest concrete date associated with the studio in the available evidence. This suggests the studio was founded or began publishing around that time, though the exact founding year is not confirmed by the provided sources. The studio's game catalog, as listed on its website, includes Quest Cards, Pocket Dungeon, Loot Hunters, Deck Warlords, Card Lords, Dungeon Loot, Cardstone and Guild Loot. These titles indicate a strong focus on card-based mechanics and dungeon-crawling experiences. The naming conventions—combining terms like "cards," "dungeon," "loot," "deck," and "guild"—point to genres that blend collectible card game systems with roguelike or RPG progression, a popular niche within the independent game scene. Running Pillow operates as a private, independent entity. There is no evidence of acquisition by or affiliation with a larger publisher or holding company. The studio maintains its own website on the Webnode platform, through which it communicates directly with players and provides access to its games. The presence of a privacy policy and an account deletion request page suggests that at least some of its titles involve user accounts or online services, which is typical for games featuring multiplayer, cloud saves, or in-app purchases. As a small indie studio, Running Pillow has a limited public footprint. It does not have a Wikipedia article, and its Wikidata entry (Q62565447) contains minimal information. The studio's history is therefore primarily documented through its own official website and game releases. Its development philosophy, as stated on its site, emphasizes creating games that the developers themselves enjoy, rather than pursuing mass-market trends. This creator-driven approach is common among independent studios and positions Running Pillow within the broader ecosystem of small-scale, self-publishing game developers. Specific details such as the exact founding date, founder names, headquarters city, number of employees, and platform partnerships are not available in the provided evidence. The studio's ongoing activity is indicated by the live website and the catalog of games, but no recent news or announcements are included in the sources.
