- Introducing X300 - A Change in Direction - 26 December 2025
Early in development, this game was announced under the working title Maralinga and was framed around real historical events connected to Australia’s nuclear testing era. As development progressed, we took time to reflect more deeply on the responsibilities involved in representing real places, real histories, and real communities.As a result, we’ve made a deliberate decision to change the name of the project and reframe it as a fully fictional work.The game is now titled X300.X300 is a survival horror game set in a fictional Cold War era testing facility, inspired by broader historical themes such as secrecy, institutional decision-making, and long-term consequences but it will no longer depict real-world locations, communities, or historical events. All characters, places, and records in the game will be fictional.This change wasn’t made lightly. It reflects learning, reflection, and…
- Development Begins on Maralinga – A Survival Horror in the Outback - 4 September 2025
Work Begins on MaralingaHello Survivors,We’re excited to officially announce that development has begun on our next project: Maralinga – a survival horror thriller set in the eerie ruins of Australia’s infamous nuclear testing site.Why Maralinga?This project is inspired by real history. In the 1950s, the Maralinga site was used for nuclear testing under a joint initiative by the Australian and British governments of the time. That testing has left a lasting impact on the land and its people. Our goal is to create a suspenseful game experience that allows players to experience the story of Maralinga from the perspective of the original inhabitants, the Tjarutja people and from the perspective of the Australian military who controlled the site between 1953 and 1963. We can’t wait to show you more of Maralinga in the months ahead. Thank you for following us on this journey into the heart o…
