Logo of studio Morbleu

Studio Morbleu! is an independent game studio based in Villeurbanne, France, bringing together a small team of people working on their very first game: Heroic Musical Chairs. The team has been developing the project for the past three years, shaping it into a multiplayer experience built around playing, competing and laughing together with family and friends.

The idea for Heroic Musical Chairs started with a simple question asked by Martin during an evening with friends: "What would happen if gladiators played musical chairs?" What was initially just a slightly silly question soon turned into a prototype in Leo's hands. From there, the project kept growing, with new ideas, characters, arenas and mechanics gradually shaping it into the game Heroic Musical Chairs is today.

Every part of Heroic Musical Chairs is created by people, from the characters and arenas to the music, animations and voice performances. No generative AI is used in the creative process.

Also, We love open source !

Heroic Musical Chairs is developped with the support of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpe region.
This project was funded by the government as part of the France 2030 initiative.
