Our games

Worlds we've built

One world so far — a heat-soaked wasteland where mercy is a rumor and survival is the only score that counts.

The studio

An independent studio obsessed with the details

Founded in 2026 in a cramped apartment, Bernictas Studios is still in an early stage of its development.

We stay small on purpose. It keeps us honest, keeps us fast, and keeps the joy of making games at the center of everything we do. We answer to players, not shareholders.

Player-first

We design for the moment of wonder. If it does not make us feel something, it does not ship.

Art-driven

Every world begins as a mood, a color, a piece of music — then we build the game around it.

Small & fierce

A tight-knit team where every voice shapes the game. No committees, just craft.

The crew

The people behind the pixels

An independent studio built by one person with a shared obsession: making games worth getting lost in.
