Who Made SAND: Raiders of Sophie?
Last reviewed: June 27, 2026
The developers: Hologryph & TowerHaus
Hologryph and TowerHaus are the Ukrainian development studios behind the game. Building an ambitious online extraction title with large-scale walking-fortress combat is a tall order for an independent team, and the studios have been openly communicating with the community — including during the rocky pre-launch period when a stress test exposed server limits and pushed the release date back. That transparency, plus a roadmap shaped by player feedback, has defined the game's Early Access launch.
The publisher: tinyBuild
tinyBuild is the publisher. It's a games company with a long track record of backing distinctive, often offbeat independent titles and helping them reach a wider audience. Having an established publisher behind SAND: Raiders of Sophie brings marketing reach and production support to the developers' vision.
