Ninth Door Studio

Our stories read like webtoons and play like RPGs.

Step inside

Who we are

Manhwa and webtoons changed how millions of people follow a story: one scene at a time, in the hero's own voice. We started Ninth Door Studio to turn that kind of storytelling into games.

Each episode reads like a chapter, with a new illustration wherever the plot turns, and underneath the story runs a game: you fight the battles yourself, and your choices change what comes next.

We finish a whole season before we release any of it, so you never wait for the next episode.

What we stand for

  • The work comes first

    Every scene is tested and reworked until nothing in it rings false. When the schedule and the work pull apart, the schedule gives way.

  • Art for the moment

    Whenever the story reaches a moment that matters, it gets an illustration made for that moment and placed where it will land hardest.

  • Music of its own

    Every production has an original soundtrack made for its world.

  • Tactics that count

    This is not a book with buttons. Fights ask you to think, and the way you build your hero changes how each one goes.

  • Choices with a price

    A choice is only worth making if it costs you something. Every road you take closes another, and the people around you remember what you chose.

  • Twists that play fair

    Our worlds keep their own rules from the first scene to the last. When the story turns, every clue was already there to find.

Our productions

A boy in a dark coat holds a gold light above a glowing city, with gold script across the night sky.

I Awakened with Someone Else's Power

Our first production is an illustrated story RPG with turn‑based fights. At fifteen, the sky gives everyone a power. Yours was meant for the boy kneeling beside you, and he is the one they take away. Now someone is writing warnings in your window. Hide what you can do, grow stronger, and find out who it is.
