AI-native game studio Arcustin Games raises $500K from Webrazzi GSYF

Istanbul-based Arcustin Games has closed a $500,000 pre-seed round at a $10 million valuation. The money came from Webrazzi GSYF, a venture capital investment fund set up by İş Portföy and Webrazzi, Tech.eu’s parent company.

The studio was founded in 2025 by Barış Dikici and Tolga Dikici. Its focus is hybrid-casual puzzle games, but the pitch is really about how those games get made: Arcustin describes itself as AI-native and says it uses AI-supported production to keep the team lean and the process capital-efficient.

That matters because the company is trying to build a model it can repeat. The goal is not just one title, but a structure that can be applied across multiple games while keeping a tight grip on costs and growth decisions. In a market that rewards speed and punishes waste, that’s the whole bet.

Barış Dikici brings eight years in consulting, including acquisition work involving gaming and technology companies in Türkiye. Tolga Dikici comes from mobile product and game development, software architecture, technology strategy and product development at global technology companies. The studio says it is blending experienced gaming people with new talent as it works on its first mobile title.

The funding will go toward expanding the team, finishing that first game and supporting user acquisition. Webrazzi GSYF has already backed Brix, GameByte, Orfeo Labs, Cypien AI, Parny and Next BigApp, so Arcustin is in familiar company for an early-stage bet on a very specific kind of software factory.
