Mother Games closed $5M Pre-Seed round

Mother Games, a New York-based gaming studio, has raised $5 million in pre-seed funding. The round included participation from BoxGroup, Shine, and Lerer Hippeau Ventures.

Mother Games is developing its debut mobile title, "Le Zoo," a 3D open-world game designed as a multi-tiered theme park. The company aims to create transformative play experiences that encourage players to explore their own mental programming and expand their inner worlds, focusing on serotonin-driven emotional responses and social bonding rather than traditional dopamine-based reward systems.
