Independent studio · Lagos
We are Glitch & Gloom Studios, an independent studio in Surulere, Lagos. We make games of every kind, scary, strange, funny or fast, with stories and style rooted in home.
What we make
Two halves, like the emblem: the playful, rule-breaking glitch, and the depth and atmosphere behind it. Every game we make leans one way or the other.
We started with horror, but we're not a horror studio. Adventure, action, puzzles, comedy, sport: each idea gets the game it deserves.
Nigerian streets, schools, markets, myths and humour. Places and people we know, in games anyone, anywhere can pick up.
A glitchy, lo-fi look that's ours, games that run on everyday PCs, and small projects finished properly.
Our games
Each game has its own look and feel. Here's the latest.
Coming soon · First-person horror
Out 23 October 2026, midnight in Lagos
Listen for the heels. Stay out of the dark. Whatever you do, do not look at her.
A first-person horror game set in an abandoned Nigerian boarding school, inspired by the West African urban legend of Madam Koi Koi.
New games are in the works, and not all of them are scary. Join the waitlist to hear first and get early access.
From the studio
Flashing-light warnings, sound subtitles, difficulty that changes more than her speed, and a picture you can actually see.
Four graphics levels, an automatic fallback when frames drop, and a retro filter that's a choice rather than a limit.
No cutscenes, no narrator. Sixteen documents, scattered through a school, and a journal to keep them in.
Waitlist
New games, playtests and early builds go to the waitlist before anyone else. A few emails a year, nothing more.
