Hyde Inc. is a Japanese video game development studio founded in 2002. The company is recognized for its collaborative development work on major intellectual properties, including co-developing the tactical RPG Digimon Survive and the party game Disney Tsum Tsum Festival, both published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
For
Disney Tsum Tsum Festival, the studio adapted the popular mobile puzzle phenomenon into a console-exclusive party experience for the Nintendo Switch. The title integrated motion-controlled minigames alongside the classic bubble-popping gameplay, supporting local and online multiplayer.
With
Digimon Survive, the developer stepped in to steer a troubled production cycle, taking over primary development to realize the franchise's darker, choice-driven narrative. Hyde implemented a distinct hybrid structure, blending visual novel storytelling with grid-based tactical battles. The game's branching paths, where player decisions directly impact character survival and Digimon evolution lines, required meticulous narrative design. Through these two high-profile releases, the studio demonstrated its versatility in handling distinct genres—ranging from family-friendly casual entertainment to complex, mature role-playing systems—within established media franchises.
