Hutlihut Games

Hutlihut Games is an independent Danish game development studio based in Copenhagen. Founded in 2018 by experienced game makers and science fiction enthusiasts, it focuses on cooperative multiplayer experiences built around shared responsibilities, emergent teamwork and player feedback. Its work combines science fiction action-adventure with roguelite progression for PC and consoles.

The studio's flagship game, Void Crew, puts one to six players aboard customizable starships. Players take the roles of cloned astronauts known as Ectypes, serving a mysterious cosmic presence called METEM while facing an alien faction called The Hollow. Operating a ship requires cooperation across piloting, artillery, repairs and other onboard tasks. Crews extinguish interior fires, repair hull breaches during EVA spacewalks and manage the demands of space combat together.

Development and releases

Void Crew entered Steam Early Access on September 7, 2023. Fourteen months of community-driven iteration followed before the PC version 1.0 release on November 25, 2024. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S editions arrived on September 4, 2025, alongside an update that expanded crew capacity to six players and enabled cross-platform play.

Development continued through 2026 with further content and systems updates. The Maximum Calamity expansion introduced frameworks for user-generated content and modding, extending the game's development beyond its initial commercial release. The studio also produced supporting downloadable content, including the Founder's Pack and Calamity Supporter's Pack.

Capabilities and approach

Hutlihut's development capabilities span game design, 3D modeling, programming, systems architecture, visual effects and shader development. Its technical work includes multiplayer networking, spacecraft interior simulation and moving-platform physics, bringing together the behavior of a moving vessel and the activities of players inside it.

Community management and post-launch maintenance form part of the studio's operating approach. Its development history emphasizes putting the game into players' hands, using feedback during iteration and continuing support across PC and console platforms.
