Clocked Out

Your shift ends at six. Nothing else does.

You have the desk, a torch, a phone that rings on its own, and a board of keys for rooms nobody has rented in years. Get to six and you can go home.

We make atmospheric games and nothing else. Fewer projects, more care, and the patience to get the feel right.

Atmosphere is a mechanic
Light, sound and silence carry information. We design them with the same care as anything you can press a button for.
Dread over noise
A phone that rings at the wrong time does more than a monster in your face. We earn every scare.
Depth you find yourself
Our games reveal themselves through play, not tutorials. We trust players to notice.
Small team, finished games
We scope to what we can make excellent, and then we ship it.

We’re hiring the founding team behind Clocked Out. Unity, remote across Europe, no crunch, and your name in the credits.
