196 Studio is a one-person independent studio founded by Max Simmons, a 17-year-old developer based in Sydney, Australia; it is focused on narrative-driven experiences built to an uncompromising standard.

Every project is entirely self-funded and self-developed. The writing, design, programming, and sound belong to one person.

196, mathematicians believe, will never become a palindrome. Reversed, rebuilt, run through a billion times, it does not resolve. It continues, and only continues.
