Welcome To The Land Of The Hermits
Studio Hermitage is a creative transmedia company working original Intellectual Properties for production across a number of formats including video games and print. The first IP released is called Our Brilliant Ruin, where we invite people to enter a gilded age in which upstairs-downstairs personal and sociological drama meets existential horror.

Under the leadership of game development veterans Paxton Galvanek (CEO), Justin Achilli (CCO) and Andy Foltz (Studio Art Director), Studio Hermitage aims to build a lasting creative game company, creating new IPs for a wide range of platforms and formats. The flagship IP, Our Brilliant Ruin, had products released in Hobby/Tabletop Game Format, Comics, a Fictional Audio Drama series, and a Video Game. The founding trio has a combined experience from the game/creative industry of over 70+ years.
For those wondering, a Hermitage is a secluded, peaceful getaway and with this studio, we hope to create a unique environment giving creative professionals the opportunity to make something truly groundbreaking.
At Studio Hermitage, our mission is to tell engaging stories and give players the tools to tell their own. Our studio wants every Hermit to find their own hermitage, their own safe and comfortable space where they can exercise creative freedom and share their voice to contribute their unique perspective to the greater storytelling whole.
