sift the chaff
keep the grain
Chaff builds games about the light things that drift away — and the heavy things that stay. What you discard is as important as what you keep.

Light Things
Games that don't weigh you down. Mechanics that drift easily.
Winnowing Hand
Careful curation. Knowing what to keep and what to let go.
Essential Grain
Only what matters remains. Everything else blows away.
Drift Memory
What is lost is not forgotten. It just travels elsewhere.
CHAFF · THE WINNOWING MANIFESTO
We are Chaff — named for the husks that blow away in the wind, for the light things that drift and scatter. We believe games should be like that: not heavy, not cluttered, but sifted clean until only the essential remains. What you let go is as important as what you hold.
Founded by harvesters, winnowers, and minimalist farmers, Chaff thrives on subtraction. We build games that breathe, that have space between the notes, that know when to let things drift away. No clutter. No unnecessary weight. Only the grain that matters.
winnowing sessions
weekly sifting — we remove one thing that doesn't need to stay.
