About Fable Forge Studio

We forge legends.

Based in Dubai (DMCC). Lebanese-led. Eight people, and growing. Building Threads of Light as our defining first IP.

Why FFS exists

The MENA region has had no shortage of stories worth telling. What it has had a shortage of is the kind of narrative-AA studio willing to spend years on a single one. Fable Forge Studio was built to fill that gap, on our own terms, in our own home.

Three ideas started this studio: a photoreal Arabian Peninsula, an Otherworld shaped by the protagonist's subconscious, and mental health as a mechanic that drives the gameplay. Threads of Light is the first proof of it.

How FFS works

We are eight people, and growing. We work as a distributed team on a single original IP. No work-for-hire. No second project until this one ships well.

Demo build in December 2026. Public demo in January 2027. Full release Q3 2028. Until then, our quarters are measured in puzzles solved, not features shipped.

The Team

Eight people, and growing.

Fendi Abou Hassan

Founder & General Manager

Built the studio so this game could exist. Writes the engine when the engine needs writing.

Elyar Davaran

Director of Art

Holds the visual identity for both worlds. Decides what every frame should feel like before it decides what it should look like.

Tomás Carceglia

Lead Game Designer

Decides what the player actually does, moment to moment, until it feels right.

Mohamed Shawky

Lead Environment Artist · Level Design

Makes the Arabian Peninsula look like itself, and the Otherworld look like nothing else.

Jad Khater

Writer

The voice in Amina's head. Also, frequently, the voice in everyone else's.

Ahmed Hamed

Environment Artist · VFX

Light, smoke, dust, rain. The things you don't notice until they're missing.

Mohamed Mashaal

Technical Artist

If a frame breathes, it's because Mashaal tuned it before you saw it.

Dawid Jurek

Concept Artist

Paints both worlds before anyone builds them.

What we're building

Emotions are places.

Don't fight your emotions. You'll always lose. Understand them, and you'll grow. Threads of Light turns that idea into a narrative action-adventure across the Arabian Peninsula, where anxiety, anger and imposter syndrome are worlds you walk through. Demo build December 2026. Public demo January 2027. Full release Q3 2028.
