About the studio

One developer. One warehouse. A lot of overtime.

Studio 273 is a one-person horror studio built around a simple obsession: places that used to hold people, and don't anymore. Abandoned mills, condemned blocks, town limits nobody bothers to update on the map.

Development happens nights and weekends around a day job — which means every system, every room, every flickering light gets built with the kind of care you only get from someone who doesn't have unlimited time to waste on it.

Urban Explorer: Baldwin is the first release: a low-poly first-person horror game set in a dead Wisconsin industrial town, built in Godot. If you've spent time with Amnesia or Outlast, you'll recognize the shape of the dread. What's underneath it is new.

Urban Explorer: Baldwin

A first-person horror game about what's left in an abandoned Wisconsin mill town — and what never left at all. PSX-style visuals, five chapters, no way back out the way you came in.
