Setter is built by volleyball people for volleyball people, aiming to give the sport the depth and long-term club-building focus that manager games in other sports already have.
Full description
Setter is a single-player volleyball management game for PC that puts players in full control of a volleyball club. It starts with scouting: assessing player potential, personality and fit before moving into transfers, where budgets, rival interest and contract negotiations decide who joins the squad. From there, players build their roster around a tactical identity, choosing formations, rotations and playing style suited to the strengths of their group and the weaknesses of their opponents. On matchday, rallies play out in a live match engine, and managers step in to make substitutions, call timeouts and respond as momentum shifts point by point. Between matches, training plans shape how players develop: young talents grow into their roles, established players hold their peak, and veterans decline, all on individual curves that reward long-term planning over quick fixes. Off the court, managers balance club finances, plan succession as players retire or move on, and recruit the next generation of talent to keep the club competitive. None of this resets at the end of a season: Setter is built around multi-season careers, where this year's decisions shape the club's identity and trajectory for years to come.

About Studio Setter
Studio Setter is an independent games studio based in Belgium, founded in 2024 to build Setter, its first title. It's a small team, built by volleyball people for volleyball people: that closeness to the sport shapes every system in the game, from scouting to matchday tactics. Studio Setter is making Setter because volleyball, despite its global following, has never had a management game built with the same care as football or motorsport. The studio is currently focused entirely on bringing Setter to PC, working with people inside the sport to get the details right.

Why we're building Setter
We didn't start Studio Setter because volleyball needed another sports game. We started because the game we wanted to play didn't exist. Setter puts you in the manager's seat: scouting players, building a squad, shaping a club, and making the decisions that can change a match or a season. Volleyball has intelligence, emotion and detail that games rarely capture, and we're building Setter because we believe it deserves better.
Football and motorsport both have deep, long-running management games. Volleyball, despite its global following, has never had one built with the same care. Setter is our attempt to change that.
