Die Gute Fabrik is an independent game developer based in Copenhagen, Denmark.[1] Founded in 2008 by artist Nils Deneken, and joined by game designers Douglas Wilson and Christoffer Holmgård,[1] the studio was afterwards led by writer Hannah Nicklin.[2]

The company is best known for developing Where Is My Heart? and Johann Sebastian Joust, a game included in Sportsfriends,[1] as well as Mutazione and Saltsea Chronicles.

In February 2024, the studio announced that they had "halted production" as they were unable to secure funding for their next project.[3]
