Built Where
Myths Begin

Hoxa Games is an independent games studio based in Orkney, Scotland, an archipelago of standing stones, Norse sagas, and skies that defy description. We're here because place matters. The land we work on shapes everything we make.

We create games that lean into myth, mystery, and the quiet power of landscape. Not as backdrop. As foundation. Our worlds feel like somewhere real, because they come from somewhere real.

We're a small studio with big ambitions, just getting started. If you want to follow the journey, be part of what we build, or collaborate, we'd love to hear from you.

Hope Harbour Camera Club artwork — cliffside wildflowers and Orkney coast

In Development

Hope Harbour Camera Club

A narrative-led photography game about chosen solitude and the quiet work of learning to see differently. You arrive alone on a camera club holiday to a small Orkney harbour, convinced that creativity is something earned through technical competence. Over a finite number of days, that belief gently dissolves. Explore the coast, photograph what you notice, develop your images at the Old Bicycle Shop, and keep a journal that slowly reveals how your way of seeing the world is changing. The game ends with a ferry home at sunset — carrying nothing except the experience itself.

In Development

Red Flags

A survival dating roguelike set in a modern supernatural world. Dating can sometimes feel like a dungeon run: monsters, traps, barely making it out with your sense of self intact. Swipe through vampires, werewolves, and old souls on the Flame dating app. Doomscroll their digital footprint, collect Insight and Boundary cards, and use them in sharp, dialogue-driven dates to spot toxic patterns before things get… complicated.
