Morning Shift Studios
Finland-based small Steam-focused indie game label / publisher / developer. ⚠ NOTORIETY NOTE: Per multiple Steam community investigations, Morning Shift Studios is one of several aliases used by Finnish operator Tero Lunkka, alongside Valkaela Software and Candy Games — all repeatedly flagged by Steam community curators (e.g. 'Sentinels of the Store') as low-effort asset-flip operations. Some Morning Shift Studios titles have been banned or removed from Steam in past curation sweeps (per 2024-2025 Steam discussions on titles like 'Survive Isolation' and 'Lawnmower Game: Find Trump'). The label has 60+ Steam releases (per games-stats.com Steam publisher index, ~$31K total estimated revenue — extremely low per-game performance consistent with asset-flip economics). Notable releases listed in MobyGames and Nintendo's third-party copyright register include Pink Explorer (asset-flipped per Steam community), 'Hentai: Bedroom' (Mar 2024), 'Autumn Isle' (2025, on Nintendo Switch via Downmeadowstreet copyright). Both develops and self-publishes its catalog. The Atlas record reflects MobyGames' formal credit attribution for cataloging continuity; the asset-flip controversy is documented for downstream graph users.

Consistent with notoriety note: aliases of shovelware publishers operate via Steam pages only. WEBSITE: deliberately null (batch 1953) - Steam-only presence (official Steam publisher page store.steampowered.com/publisher/MorningShiftStudios + X @MorningShifts, 'Founded July 20, 2020, Location Finland' per Steam group); no dedicated company website exists; morningshiftstudios.com does not resolve.
