About Indigo Studios
Indigo Studios is an independent Spanish game developer based in Girona, Catalonia. Founded in 2020, it creates narrative-driven adventures, mysteries and psychological thrillers built around environmental exploration, atmospheric storytelling and original music. Its games emphasize developed scripts and investigative discovery over traditional combat mechanics.
The studio's work spans first-person puzzles, historical mysteries and noir detective stories. Its development capabilities include game design, dramatic scriptwriting, branching interactive narratives, environmental riddles and original soundtrack composition. These disciplines support a catalogue in which setting, sound and narrative are central to the experience.
Games and development history
The studio entered commercial game development with Seven Doors, released for PC in June 2020. The first-person adventure presents seven themed rooms built around puzzles and atmospheric challenges. SOEDESCO subsequently published the game for consoles and became a publishing partner for further projects.
Charon's Staircase, released in October 2022, expanded the studio's work into psychological horror and investigation. Set within a fictional totalitarian regime of the 1970s, the game follows the discovery of the sinister Project Alpha. Its release through SOEDESCO covered PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
The studio later worked with Firenut Games on Portrait of a Torn, an atmospheric first-person exploration mystery released in 2024, followed by a PlayStation 5 edition in 2026. The Last Case of John Morley, published by JanduSoft in November 2025 for PC and PlayStation 5, takes its narrative approach into a 1940s noir detective setting.
Its announced project Lucidus Mortem explores a mystery set in the 1930s. Across these projects, Indigo Studios combines historical settings, environmental storytelling and cinematic presentation while working with external publishers to bring its independently developed games to PC and console audiences.
