We make games!

ABOUT US
Isto Inc. is an indie dev team based in Calgary, Canada .
We're the creators of Disjoint, and our newest game, Atrio.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We live by one rule: Make amazing games. And also don't be jerks.
So technically two rules. But we're all about breaking rules cuz we're bad like that. So technically we could make a mediocre game just to break the rules but so far all of our game(s) have been amazing.
