Studio

Rewriting the gaming experience.

ZNS Studios is building a growing slate of games, with new worlds and stories in development.

How we work

1. The place is the threat.

   Fear comes from where you stand: a cold room, a door that won't stay shut, hounds somewhere in the trees. Dream 1 builds horror through place, sound, and routine.

2. Quiet does the work.

   Our visual direction draws on early-2000s horror on the PlayStation 2: low light, long silences, and daily routines that slowly turn wrong.

3. Something to keep.

   We're planning a physical PC edition of Dream 1, with a custom case and an installer on disc, subject to manufacturing and cost checks.
