Out of the Blue Games

Out of the Blue Games is an independent video game developer based in Madrid, Spain, creating original narrative-driven puzzle adventures and platformers. Its work spans PC, consoles and virtual reality, combining storytelling with atmospheric environments, exploration and puzzle design. The studio develops its own intellectual property rather than offering work-for-hire development services.

Its creative approach encompasses first-person adventures, branching narratives and stylized 3D worlds built with Unreal Engine. Across its projects, the team has also explored how different perspectives and interaction systems can work together within a single story.

Games and creative direction

The studio’s debut, Call of the Sea, launched in December 2020 through publisher Raw Fury. Set in the South Pacific during the 1930s, the first-person puzzle adventure draws on Lovecraftian influences while moving away from conventional horror. Subsequent releases brought the game to additional platforms, including a dedicated Meta Quest adaptation, Call of the Sea VR, in 2023 and Nintendo Switch in 2025.

Released initially for PC in November 2023, American Arcadia presents a retro-futuristic metropolis built around a continuously broadcast reality television show. Its gameplay combines side-scrolling 2.5D platforming with first-person 3D hacking puzzles. Console editions followed in 2025.

The studio returned to the universe of its debut with Call of the Elder Gods, released with publisher Kwalee in May 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2. Inspired by The Shadow Out of Time, the game continues the studio’s exploration of Lovecraftian mystery.

Its broader work includes The Vigilante Diaries, a narrative role-playing diary experience set in the 1970s and conceived as the first entry in the anthology An Out of the Blue Story. The studio has also extended its storytelling into tabletop role-playing through Call of the Sea: The Everhart Expedition, co-developed with Shadowlands.

Alongside original game development, its production capabilities cover environment and character art, game audio implementation, multi-platform adaptation and VR development.
