Hasalynx Press and Hasalynx Games, Are They Related?

Readers often notice the shared name, the similar colors, and the familiar “Hasalynx” identity. This naturally leads to one question: Are Hasalynx Press and Hasalynx Games related? The answer is yes, but the relationship is more interesting than people expect. Both belong to the same creative ecosystem, but they serve different roles and were created at different times.

To understand how they connect, it helps to look at the history of the company and how the Hasalynx brand evolved.

The Publishing Company Behind Both Projects

The company run by M. R. Foti has existed since 2019. In the early years, it published books under different imprints (Always Inspired Writing, Sunflower Romance Press), experimenting with branding and formats. The “Hasalynx Press” imprint did not exist yet. The company was active, but the Hasalynx identity had not been created.

Everything changed in 2021, when a new creative project appeared.

The Beginning of Hasalynx Games (2021)

In June 2021, M. R. Foti launched Hasalynx Games, an indie visual novel studio based in Kielce, Poland. The goal was simple: create interactive stories that feel like reading a book, but with illustrations, character sprites, music, and light interactivity.

Visual novels are essentially books you can click through. They are story‑driven, text‑heavy, and perfect for readers who enjoy narrative experiences.

Hasalynx Games quickly developed its own identity:

• a distinctive name

• a recognizable color palette

• a focus on storytelling

• a catalogue of visual novels based on original stories and adaptations

This project became the first place where the “Hasalynx” name appeared.

The Birth of Hasalynx Press (2025)

In December 2025, the company launched a new publishing imprint: Hasalynx Press. The name was chosen deliberately. It was taken directly from Hasalynx Games, because the founder wanted both branches to share a unified creative identity.

Hasalynx Press became the home for:

• curated romance books

• serialized stories

• complete novels

• monthly new releases

• high‑quality, edited, polished writing

While Hasalynx Games focused on interactive storytelling, Hasalynx Press focused on traditional reading. Both projects share the same creative DNA, but they express it in different formats.

What Hasalynx Press Does

Hasalynx Press is a digital publishing imprint that offers:

• curated romance books

• complete stories

• monthly new releases

• a clean, simple reading interface

• a subscription model with unlimited access

• a catalogue organized by tropes, tags, and genres

The platform is designed for readers who want a smooth, app‑free reading experience. Everything works in the browser. No downloads. No bookshelf management. No complicated steps.

What Hasalynx Games Does

Hasalynx Games creates:

• visual novels

• interactive stories

• illustrated narrative experiences

• adaptations of books

• original stories in game format

These visual novels feel like reading a book, but with art, music, and choices. They are short, emotional, and easy to play.

How the Two Projects Connect

Because both projects come from the same company and the same founder, some stories exist in both formats. A few visual novels created by Hasalynx Games were later adapted into books and published on Hasalynx Press. Likewise, some books from Hasalynx Press may be adapted into visual novels in the future.

Below is a clean list of titles that appear in both places.

Same Origin, Different Roles

So, are Hasalynx Press and Hasalynx Games related?

Yes. They share the same founder, the same company origin, and the same “Hasalynx” identity. But they do different things.

Hasalynx Games focuses on visual novels. Hasalynx Press focuses on books.

The connection is creative, not confusing. One produces interactive stories, the other publishes written stories. Some titles appear in both formats because they come from the same creative source.

The Future: A Unified Storytelling Ecosystem

Over time, Hasalynx Press and Hasalynx Games will grow even closer. The long‑term vision is to gamify books — turning selected Hasalynx Press titles into interactive visual novels. This means readers will be able to enjoy their favorite stories in two formats:

• as books

• as games

The two branches of the Hasalynx brand will continue to support each other, creating a unified ecosystem of storytelling where reading and gaming blend naturally.
