TYPE OUT LABS

An independent game studio

Worlds that answer back.

Type Out Labs is an independent studio making simulation games for PC and Steam Deck. They are small in scope, strange on purpose, and built to remember what you do to them.

█████ ███████ █████

A world with a long memory and strong opinions about how it's treated. That's as much as we can say for now.

Smaller and drier than it sounds. We're keeping this one in cold storage a while longer.

Titles, dates, and a third platform to be confirmed. Possibly by the gods.


02How we build

Short loops, long consequences.

A run fits inside an evening, but what you did in it stays in the world. Expect the world to bring it up later.

Systems you can read.

If a player can't see why something happened, the simulation failed. Every outcome in our games can be traced back to a cause, usually one you supplied.

Scope is a material.

We'd rather finish a peculiar thing than gesture at an enormous one. Cutting is design work, and we do a lot of it.


03The lab

We make games where the world is a character: one that holds grudges and, once in a while, returns a favor.

Type Out Labs works in deep simulation and deliberate scope. Cause and effect are the whole point of our games, whether the consequence arrives as weather, as geography, or as a raised eyebrow.

The chart above was generated just for you, and no one else will ever see it. That's roughly the business we're in.

Press, platforms, publishers, or the simply curious. We read everything, usually at night, under strange stars of our own.
