About Nyanko
More than just a company, Nyanko represents the desire to unify the positive elements in society. By combining the most gifted and skilled individuals in society with a work culture which maximizes their performance while maintaining an unprecedented level of freedom, an environment is created in which individuals can keep their personal responsibility while being free to pursue their own interests.
Values like equality, transparency, creativity, and the pursuit of knowledge form the main pillars of Nyanko's foundation. This also reflects in the products it develops, even its games. While the company is still in its early stages, those inside and many around it firmly believe in its bright future and the promise it holds.
