From Sabrina Culyba, Founder
I started Ludoliminal with a vision to create unique games with beautiful design that families and friends can enjoy together.
I believe that games are a transformative medium for humans of any age to better understand themselves, each other, and the world.
As a parent, I have seen first-hand how the habit of play strengthens relationships and supports the development of thoughtful, happy, and resilient children.
As a designer, I have found that game design—and its intertwined practices of playtesting, iteration, and interdisciplinary collaboration—enriches those who practice it.
