About

We create meaningful gaming experiences through the exploration of alternative design outcomes.

Five Houses is a game studio founded by Scott Walenty and Kyle Jenkins, two childhood friends who have been building games together for most of their lives.

We focus on reimagining classic game systems, asking what they would look like if they had been thoughtfully refined over time instead of abandoned. Many of the design principles that once made games feel intuitive, rewarding, and complete have been lost or diluted.

Our goal is to pick up where those systems left off and innovate on them in a modernized and accessible way, built with the expectations of today’s players in mind.
