A bright room for good games

In a Russian log house, the gornitsa was the clean, bright room where guests were welcomed. We make games like that for RuStore: calm, honest and clear from the very first minute.

Anamnesis

Patients come to you with real illnesses, and almost every sign stays hidden until you ask, examine or order a test. Make a diagnosis, choose a treatment and see the outcome — and between shifts, build your own hospital.

  • Tests with real-world accuracy: lab work, ECG, X-ray
  • A review of every case
  • Offline and ad-free

How we make games

Four studio rules

We read about two thousand reviews of games on RuStore. People complain about the same few things again and again, and you won’t find them in our games.

Fair randomness

Tiles and dice favor neither the bot nor paying players. In Long Nardy the server makes the online rolls, and you can verify them after the game.

Play without a connection

Games against bots and two players on one phone work offline. To play a friend by correspondence, a link in a messenger is all you need.

No sign-up

A nickname is all you need to play online: we never ask for an email, a phone number or a password.

Ads don’t get in the way

Votchina and Anamnesis have no ads at all. In Long Nardy they will appear only between games, and a single purchase turns them off for good.

“A house is beautiful not for its corners, but for its pies.” A Russian proverb we keep in mind when deciding what to add to a game

About the studio

Gornitsa is a small independent studio. We make games that parents, grandparents and friends enjoy after work: clear rules, big buttons, an unhurried pace.

We release every game on RuStore first and support it ourselves: we answer emails, read reviews and fix whatever gets in the way.
