stillalive studios at a Glance

stillalive studios is an Austrian developer based in Innsbruck that formed in 2010 but did not release its first title until 2015. The studio has maintained a steady output since then, releasing five games during the 2010s and eight titles in the 2020s. Their portfolio on PlayPile consists of fifteen entries where they acted as developer fourteen times and publisher twice. The company focuses heavily on simulation games, with thirteen titles in that genre dominating their catalog. They also touch on strategy, indie, and adventure styles, though these make up a smaller portion of their work. The studio has a strong presence on PC platforms across Microsoft Windows, Mac, and Linux. They have also expanded to consoles like PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with fewer releases on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices for Android and iOS. Their reputation among players is mixed but trending upward in recent years. Across eight rated titles, the average IGDB score sits at 67.7 out of 100. This average reflects a range of quality, including two great games scoring above 80, three good titles between 60 and 79, and three mixed entries falling between 40 and 59. No poor games appear in their history on this platform. Their earlier work established them with the Bus Simulator series. Bus Simulator 18 from 2018 received a score of 62.2, while Rescue HQ: The Tycoon from 2019 earned an 80. SciFi strategy game Drone Swarm also scored well at 78.3 when it launched in 2020. The studio has continued to release simulation titles regularly through the early 2020s. Bus Simulator 21 arrived in September 2021 with a score of 76.2, followed by Bus Simulator City Ride in October 2022 and Bus Simulator 21: Next Stop in May 2023. Tram Simulator Urban Transit appeared in December 2023. The most recent release, Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator, came out in February 2024 and holds the highest rating for the studio at 86. This suggests a shift toward higher quality reception in their latest projects compared to some earlier entries.
