Hello from Black Rune

Different worlds.
Same curiosity.

A home for different
kinds of play.

We’re an independent studio building games with a world and a character of their own. A puzzle in a laboratory is one part of that story.

This is where you can discover our titles as the catalogue grows. Come curious.
