Twisted Survivors

Dark fantasy bullet hell · Action roguelike · Solo or online co-op

Twisted Survivors key art: the crest over a violet eclipse, a citadel and a ruined shrine Coming soon on Steam

The plague came out of the dark and took everyone. Not killed. Took. Now they shamble back over the hills in their thousands, wearing the faces of people you knew.

Your weapons swing on their own. Your job is to keep moving, keep leveling and keep breathing until the tenth minute, when the thing behind the plague crawls out to finish you itself.

  • 01

    Ten minutes. Then the boss.

    Minibosses climb out of the ground at the third, sixth and ninth minute. At 10:00 the realm's master arrives. Survive past 12:00 and you're in endless overtime.

  • 02

    Ten survivors, ten stories

    Valgar, Fenrik, Vorgath, Bonebeard, Seraphel, Liriel, Eldrahn, Steinn, Morrow and Sigrun. Each has their own weapon, their own trick, and a story told at the fire.

  • 03

    Fifteen reforgeable weapons

    Take a weapon to max level and its last card reforges it into something the horde can't answer. Rings, tomes and 26 stacking relics do the rest.

  • 04

    Five realms

    The Verdant Reach, The Golden Dunes, The Frozen Expanse, Grimhold Castle and The Ashen Waste, each with its own monsters, bosses and music.

  • 05

    The Bonfire

    Dying is the shopping trip. Embers from every run buy permanent stats, a skill tree of weapons, rings and relics, and the other nine survivors.

  • 06

    Co-op through Steam

    Up to four players with one eight-letter code. No extra accounts, no servers to rent, no port forwarding. Revive a downed friend by kneeling beside them for three seconds.

02 // The studio

Small studio. Whole games.

Six Studio is an independent game studio founded by Six. We design, program and ship our own games end to end, with no publisher and no off-the-shelf engine.

Twisted Survivors is our first release. It is hand-coded in C++ without an engine, with 480×270 pixel art, original music and online co-op built straight on Steam.

Founder · Developer

  • From scratch

    Every system in our games is code we wrote and understand, so we can tune every frame and fix anything fast.

  • Players first

    Fair runs, honest progression, co-op that just works. We'd rather ship one sharp game than three forgettable ones.

  • A tiny team, a big toolbox

    We pair hand-written engineering with AI tools like Claude to design, test and ship faster than a studio our size should.

03 // Technology

Six Engine

Everything we learned hand-building Twisted Survivors went into Six Engine, our in-house C++20 and Vulkan engine, now in active development for the studio's next projects.

The intro you just watched is its signature, The Mark, rebuilt line for line to run in your browser.

  • Vulkan renderer
  • Hardware ray tracing
  • Physically based materials
  • Physics, ragdolls & cloth
  • Lua scripting
  • Live Blender link
