Who runs this

Minimum Effort is an indie game studio run by Roy van Laarhoven, a private individual based in the Netherlands. Not a company (yet). Not a cult. Just a person making games with a deliberately low sense of urgency.

Our games and stores

Our games are sold and delivered through third-party stores such as Steam (operated by Valve Corporation). For purchases, refunds and anything to do with your store account, the store's own terms and consumer rules apply; we don't sell anything directly on this website.

Liability

We keep this website and our games working and accurate with reasonable care, but we can't guarantee either is free of errors or available at every moment. External links point to sites we don't control; their content is their business.
