Deep simulations, built with care. We make management games where the systems are real, the details matter, and every decision has somewhere to go.
The studio
Small team, serious systems.
Black Harbor Studio is an independent studio building simulation games for players who like to look under the hood.
We'd rather model how a thing really works than fake it. When a system in our games makes a choice, it's because the real world would have made it too: the same rules, the same trade-offs, the same consequences.
Everything you see is our own: the people, the furniture, the machines and the code that runs them.
Real, not approximate
We research the real thing first and build the game on top of it.
Depth you can read
Complex systems, explained clearly, so every outcome has a reason you can find.
Made in house
Our own characters, models and tools, built for the games we want to make.
