Independent apps & games · Dubai

Good ideas
don't clock out.

After the everyday comes the extraordinary. We make games to bring people together and apps that turn a little curiosity into something you can use.

Built with curiosity. Made to be experienced.

Selected projects

Two ideas.
A world of possibilities.

The studio

Small beginnings.
Original possibilities.

AUTNIHILO is the home for independent apps and games by Justin Zhang, a Dubai-based developer with a background in IT management. Each project begins with a simple question: what if this could exist?

We build, put ideas in people's hands, and improve through real feedback. This is an evolving collection of work, with room for the next idea.

  • Original experiences
  • Built across languages
  • Improved through feedback
