New from Black Sea Studios

Somewhere in this field, someone is doing their best animal impression. It's you.

Record your own animal sound in the lobby, then match it on the spot while the hunters close in. With proximity chat, everyone nearby can hear you. Sound a bit too human and it's over.

The studio

Four games in, and still finding out what we're best at.

Black Sea Studios is a small indie team from Georgia. Since September 2023 we've shipped a job sim, a management sim and a multiplayer party game, and right now we're building a life sim set in a Soviet village. Jumping between genres is on purpose: every game teaches us something, and it goes straight into the next one.

  • Voice mimicry: record it, then copy it.
  • Up to 8 players online.

BSS 04 Coming next

Red Life

A Soviet village, your father's broken Lada, and a note from your mother.

Go back to the village you were born in and get the family car running again. Chop wood, deliver goods and help babushka for money, or skip the honest work and brew moonshine behind the shed. Just keep it away from the militsiya.

  • Fix and upgrade your Lada.
  • Survive hunger, thirst and stress.
  • Race the local hero for his V8 Volga.

Wishlisting is free and Steam will email you on launch day. For a studio our size it's honestly the most useful thing you can do.

How we decide

You picked our last game.

This spring we had two games in progress and had to choose which one to finish first. So we asked our community. Hide and Moo! won 115 votes to 47, we put everything into it, and it came out four months later.

Red Life is next. The Discord is where we share builds and screenshots first, and where the next vote will happen.

Get an email when we release something.

Launch days and big updates, that's about it. We're too busy making games to write a weekly newsletter.
