History Creator / StingEntertainment

Sting Entertainment 『株式会社スティング』, founded on February 7, 1989, is a relatively small Japanese company that provides phone services and enjoys making games with unusual systems or concepts. Shinichi Ito is one of their head designers. They've gained notoriety for remaking some of their more successful games ''over and over and over'', but recently they've been branching out and have been producing more new games. Their company name is sometimes stylized as ''[=ST!NG=]''.

Most of Sting's later games have been published by Creator/{{Atlus}}, and in Atlus of Japan has signed a deal with them to be their exclusive publisher. Despite this, a lot of Sting's recent games have been suffering from NoExportForYou, as Atlus USA has chosen not to localize them.
