Welcome to Marsad
Who we are, what we're building, and why we design in Arabic first.
Marsad is a small, independent game studio. We build small, focused worlds, and we take our time with each one until it's worth the time it asks of the people who play it.
Small worlds, on purpose
Every game here starts from a single idea: a mechanic, a mood, or a question. We don't add what it doesn't need, and we don't release it before that one idea is done right.
Arabic first
Most games made for Arabic-speaking players are built in English and translated later. We work the other way around: we design in Arabic first, then write the English version as a genuine second language. That changes real decisions:
- How much space every heading and every button needs.
- Which way the interface runs, and what mirrors and what doesn't.
- The rhythm of a sentence in a menu or a line of dialogue.
We want Arabic-speaking players to feel a game was written for them, not translated for them.
