Orangenap Studio was founded by Diogo Sousa, a game developer and designer, and Rita Saraiva, an artist who also works in film and television as a camera operator. Based in Porto, Portugal, they met during their Multimedia degree, where MIRAI #167 began as their final-year project and is now their debut project.

As a studio, they aim to be known for crafting lore-rich worlds, addictive gameplay, and taking bold creative risks — drawing deep inspiration from other forms of media.
