Who We Are

We’re a small independent development team made up of two long-time creators with over 10 years of combined experience across game development, design, and technical problem-solving.

Like many indie developers, we’re balancing full-time jobs and family life while building something we truly believe in. Nights, weekends, and spare hours have gone into this project—not because it’s easy, but because it matters to us.

We’re not a studio backed by publishers or shareholders. We’re players first, developers second, and we believe games should be built with care, creativity, and respect for the player, not trends or monetization spreadsheets.

This project represents the kind of game we wish more studios were still making.

The Project

Our game is a single-player, story-driven survival experience set in an alternate 1990s universe.

You play as an alien who crash-lands on Earth during a time of rising global tension. Your mission was to prevent a nuclear catastrophe—but instead, you’re captured by a secretive government organization and taken to a research facility to be studied and experimented on.

From the moment you regain control, the goal is simple:

Escape. Survive. Prevent what’s coming.

As you navigate hostile environments, avoid detection, and piece together what’s happening in this twisted version of Earth, you’ll uncover:

The truth behind your capture

The consequences of human fear and power

And whether stopping the war is still possible

The game focuses on atmosphere, tension, and immersion—not hand-holding or flashy distractions. No microtransactions. No live-service mechanics. Just a complete experience designed to pull you into its world.

Why We’re Crowdfunding

Right now, development happens around work schedules and family responsibilities. While we’re committed to finishing this game no matter what, that reality slows progress and limits scope.

Funding will allow us to:

Dedicate focused development time to the project

Cover essential tools, assets, and production costs

Bring on like-minded collaborators—artists, designers, and developers who may not otherwise get the opportunity to work in the industry

Build the game the right way, without cutting corners or compromising the vision

We don’t want to follow the corporate copy-paste formula. We want to create something personal, thoughtful, and complete—something that respects your time and support.

Backing this project isn’t just funding a game.
It’s supporting an independent team choosing creativity over convenience.

If you believe games should still take risks, tell meaningful stories, and be made by people—not algorithms—we’d love for you to be part of this journey.
