Nanali Studio CEO Bak Jae-hwan has been enamoured with the moving stories and elaborate universes in animations ever since he was a child. And with games, he’s managed to delight his own audience with unique worlds and deeply relatable characters.

2016 iPhone Game of the Year Sally’s Law is an endearing story of love and connection between father and daughter, told through an innovative puzzle design that requires players to alternate playing either of the two characters. The healing Forest Island helps players relax in the beauty of nature, in the midst of trickling water, chirping birds and billowing wind.

‣ The cute, rotund designs of the two characters in Sally’s Law are based on the red and yellow spheres used in the prototype design.

‣ One Sally’s Law player mentions in their review that the game inspired them to reconcile with their father after a long feud.

‣ Forest Island is home to 167 species of fauna, spread across the sky, sea and land, and that number is still growing.

‣ A Forest Island player reached out to the developer after the ASMR aspect of the game helped them overcome PTSD.
