Where Art Meets Science
A simulation of living worlds with endless possibilities.
MUSE Living Worlds will be our first medium built on MUSE, where you influence what characters notice, remember, and choose — and the world responds with consequences.
A living world in motion, where dopamine, weather, and memories all shape what happens next
You do not control the character.
You are their muse. You suggest — the rest emerges.
MUSE allows for realistic behaviors, but more importantly, by playing the role of a muse, and not simply controlling a character, it enables experiences where perspective-taking isn't optional—it's inevitable. Anyone can embody any character: different ages, abilities, identities, or even fantastical beings.
We're a complex systems science and engineering company—part research lab, part applied studio. That means we build the science and the things that use it.
Our research arm, Gothic Grandma. Laboratories, develops the MUSE ecosystem—simulation engines, analytical tools, and scientific infrastructure for modeling biological, psychological, and environmental systems. We also maintain GG.Flow, an open-source scientific pipeline framework born from our own work.
Our applied arm, Gothic Grandma. Studios, turns that research into products people can actually use—starting with MUSE Living Worlds, interactive experiences where every character is a full biological simulation, not a script.
Two divisions, one mission: build simulations grounded in real science, and put them in the hands of researchers, creators, and everyday people.
