Hello! We are Black Bear Studio, a small indie game development team. We’re currently working on our first project — Strange Island.
Strange Island is a single-player, open-world (3 km²), first-person 3D psychological horror game focused on atmosphere, exploration, and a slow descent into the unknown. You awaken on a remote island with no memory — no idea who you are or how you got there. But with every answer you uncover, even more questions emerge.
⚠️ The game is still in development and is currently listed on Steam as “Coming Soon”. A playable demo is planned for release within the next few months (in late December 2025).
Join our Discord community to stay updated on development, ask questions, and be among the first to experience the demo!
