About Kalice Studios
Our Story
Founded by Henrique Lirio and CiroG0D, Kalice Studios began as a dream shared between two lifelong friends who grew up side by side in front of a computer. Henrique was drawn to RPGs and medieval fantasy from a young age, while Ciro explored the worlds of video editing and music production.
In 2020, Henrique started developing his own games, and by 2019, Ciro was diving deep into FL Studio to craft unique soundscapes. Their shared passion naturally evolved into something bigger — a studio where storytelling, pixel art, and atmospheric sound design come together to build immersive, emotional worlds.
The name "Kalice" was born during one of their many late-night conversations — a blend of ideas and energy that reflects their creative chemistry. Today, Kalice Studios stands as a symbol of friendship, passion, and the belief that powerful games can come from humble beginnings.
Our Mission
To create immersive pixel art RPGs that explore the depths of dark fantasy storytelling while pushing the boundaries of what pixel art can express.
Artistic Vision
We believe pixel art is not just nostalgia, but a powerful medium for storytelling with its own unique aesthetic language.
Narrative Depth
We craft stories that explore complex themes, moral ambiguity, and the darker aspects of fantasy worlds.
Player Agency
We design games that respect player choices and allow for meaningful impact on the game world and narrative.

Seze Anyway (Henrique)
Founder - Creative Director - Programmer
Henrique has been into games since 2011, back when he was just 6 years old — always drawn to RPGs and medieval fantasy. In 2020, he started programming his own games, combining that passion with a love for pixel art and storytelling. Kalice Studios came from a casual conversation with his longtime friend Ciro, now the studio’s music producer. The two grew up side by side, in front of a screen, and today they’re building the kind of worlds they used to escape into as kids.
Ratos (Ciro)
Sound Designer - Composer
Ciro started early with video editing, making wild ‘intro dorgas’ just for fun. In 2019, he discovered FL Studio and dove deep into the world of sound design and beat production. Since then, he’s been shaping atmospheres, moods, and soundtracks that bring digital worlds to life. As co-founder of Kalice Studios, he crafts the audio soul behind every scene — blending childhood passion with hard-earned craft.
