Who we are

Small studio. Deep worlds.

We are a small independent studio made by Mexican developers. It started with a shared love of games and a simple ambition: build worlds worth getting lost in. Code, design, art and sound — each of us brings a craft, and every game gets all of them. Being small keeps us close to the work, and close to the people who play it.

  • Worlds first

    Atmosphere, mystery, places that feel alive. We build the world before we build the level.

  • Play together

    Our games are made for friends: shared risk, shared laughs, shared failure.

  • Craft over scale

    Small team, every discipline in the room. We'd rather ship one thing we love than ten we don't.

  • Made in Mexico

    Independent, and proud of where we come from.

Why "Burning Boats"

You burn the boats when the only way is forward.

A paper boat, a flame, dark water. The name is a promise to ourselves: no plan B, no half measures — we commit to the worlds we build and to the people who play them.

The crew

A small crew with every craft in the room.
