grizzbox
New games. Old souls
GrizzBox is an independent game studio with a foot in two eras. On one side are modern Windows games with all the comforts of today's hardware. On the other is brand-new software for the 8-bit home computers and consoles that started it all.
Writing for an 8-bit machine means counting every byte and every cycle. That discipline shapes everything GrizzBox makes: tight controls, readable screens, no filler.
Windows games: right here
The Windows games live on this itch.io page. Buying here supports the studio directly.
