BiteMe Games

BiteMe Games is a Belgian indie studio with one released Steam title, MMO98, and two games in development: Silicon Architect and Desktop Island: Idle Together!. It exhibited MMO98 and Silicon Architect at OSAKA INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2026 in October.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 7

The studio's released game is MMO98, an incremental simulation about growing a small MMO studio. It launched on Steam on April 20, 2026 with Japanese support. BiteMe Games presented MMO98 and Silicon Architect at OSAKA INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2026, held October 3 and 4 at Congres Square Grand Green Osaka. Both presentations lean on the operating systems of the late 1990s and early 2000s, which is the hook the studio uses to distinguish its work in a field of idle games built around plain spreadsheets. Silicon Architect is a hardware engineering game with a Windows XP-style UI and is still in development.

Desktop Island: Idle Together! is the studio's other known project. It is a desktop idle slow-life sim for PC via Steam, launching in December. It supports solo and up to five-player online co-op without a host, and shared island changes sync automatically. A playtest ran through August 16.

Between the two announcements, the studio's slate now runs from released to in development: MMO98 is out with Japanese support, Silicon Architect has no release window, and Desktop Island: Idle Together! has a December launch window and a co-op model that removes the host requirement. The Osaka exhibition is the only event appearance the coverage notes.
