Build worlds that are easier to understand, test, and share.

Vitus is our local-first worldbuilding platform for Game Masters, writers, and developers. It turns scattered lore into a connected world of entries, relationships, timelines, maps, narrative tools, Vitus AI, and interactive prototypes while keeping the core source files in your hands.

How we work

Built by makers, for makers.

Viking huskarl warrior representing Shieldwall Games

Shieldwall Games is a small independent studio. We build the tools we needed and couldn't find, then we share them. Vitus came from the problem of keeping large fictional worlds coherent while building our own games.

We care about ownership, useful depth, and tools that earn their place in a creator's workflow. Vitus keeps local work local by default, while optional AI, collaboration, and hosting are there when the project actually needs them.
