DARYA
"My idea was, if you can move people emotionally, you can also get them to act."
- Roger Payne -
Darya Studios is a game & media company founded by Sara Shabani & Hannes Bieber and supported by the PressStart Game Founding Stipendium. It is funded by the Minister of State for Culture and the Media and organized by game – The German Games Industry Association in cooperation with the Foundation for Digital Games Culture.
DARYA is our debut narrative game, where you explore the scattered memories of Darya - a marine biologist, who dedicated her life listening to the last whales on earth.

Play as her daughter Ana, who has been apart from her mother since early childhood and remembers nothing of her. Piece together her life and reconnect through the creatures she loved most.
