We make games that take their subject seriously.

We are an independent studio making simulation games. Each game picks a world and goes deep into it, with its real rules and room for you to decide. The first is PLANALTO, where you govern Brazil.

You write it. The country answers.

There is no list of choices: you write each measure in your own words. 513 deputies vote one by one, 27 governors push back, the economy reacts and the press covers it. Forty-eight months in office, or thirteen weeks of campaign before them.

A real Congress
Every deputy has a name, a party, a region and a mood. A bill needs 257 votes; a constitutional amendment, 308 in two rounds.
Coalition politics
The Centrão, party wings, caucuses and inquiries. Votes are traded for budget amendments and ministries.
The 2026 campaign
Thirteen weeks against the real candidates, with debates, polls and a runoff.
A long career
Reelection, a successor and up to five terms, until 2046.

Next games

We are making new games, about other subjects and very different from PLANALTO. They will be announced here first.

A small studio that ships early and improves its games together with the people who play them.

Koru Interactive started in 2026 with PLANALTO. The game came out on 23 August and went through nineteen versions in five weeks, most of them driven by what players reported on Discord and inside the game. Every change is logged, with a date, in the game's own official gazette.

Our games simulate one world at a time: who runs it, who pushes back, what each decision costs. The fun is in watching that world react to what you did.

The name

Koru is a te reo Māori word, from the Māori language of New Zealand. It means a loop or coil: the curled shoot of a fern frond as it starts to unfurl. In Māori art it is a sign of new life and growth, and its inward curl suggests a return to the point of origin.

We like the idea of a game that starts small and tightly wound, then opens up. Our spiral is our own drawing, not a traditional Māori design, and we use the word with respect for where it comes from.

PLANALTO is satirical fiction. Lines attributed to public figures are caricatures written by the game and were never said by them. Part of the text is generated by artificial intelligence and may contain errors.
