The game is set in a fictionalised small regional town and the adjoining valley near Alpine National Park in Victoria.

The Studio: O'Saurus Studios is a small, woman-led indie game studio based in Melbourne (Brunswick & Southbank). We  love unconventional narratives, human psychology, and unique settings. We are open to remote workers, but you must be located in and authorised to work in Australia.
