About Us

Greetings. Believe in the Power of Games

Granzella is a game company operating in Ishikawa and Nagoya.
"Any ideas we come up with can be realized as a game" - with that in mind, we work to provide unique experiences and more realistic feeling that digital games can offer as well as the entertainment which can be realized by making full use of our game production capabilities.
Without being caught by precedents and stereotypes, we are determined to challenge in unknown realms of entertainment with uncertain demand.
We would appreciate your continued support.
