About us

Outjourney is an independent video game studio founded in 2025 and based in Melbourne, Australia.

We create story-rich games for PC and consoles, built around original worlds, memorable characters, satisfying gameplay, and a sense of adventure that pulls players beyond the familiar.

WHY WE EXIST

To build the kinds of games that made us fall in love with games.

Outjourney was founded from a belief that games are at their best when they are made for players first.

We grew up with single-player worlds that felt vast, mysterious, and alive — worlds you could disappear into, characters you could look up to, and journeys that stayed with you long after the screen faded to black.

Our ambition is to build a studio that carries that spirit forward: creating premium, story-rich games with strong heroes, emotional stakes, atmospheric worlds, and gameplay that feels rewarding in its own right.

WHAT WE MAKE

Gameplay-first worlds with story, atmosphere, and consequence.

We are focused on premium single-player games: no mobile-first design, no multiplayer-first compromise, no live-service treadmill, and no sneaky monetisation mechanics.

For us, gameplay is the centre. Story, worldbuilding, progression, visual identity, and cinematic presentation all matter — but they must serve the experience of playing. A game should feel good in the hands, reward curiosity, create tension, and give players a reason to keep moving forward.

We want to make worlds that feel authored and immersive: places shaped by mystery, conflict, discovery, and emotional weight.

OUR FIRST PROJECT

A grounded sci-fi action game in development.

Our first project is a story-rich, third-person action game set in a grounded science-fiction world.

It is not a utopia and not a pure dystopia. It is a hopeful but uncertain future — a world of exploration, survival, infiltration, corporate power, conspiracy, and personal stakes set against something much larger.

The project is still in development, and more will be revealed when the time is right.

CREATIVE PRINCIPLES

The principles shaping Outjourney.

01 GAMEPLAY FIRST

A game should feel rewarding in the player’s hands. Story, worldbuilding, progression, and presentation matter — but they must serve the moment-to-moment experience of play.

02 LIVING WORLDS

We build worlds with atmosphere, history, conflict, and consequence. Every place should feel grounded in a larger reality, with people, systems, and stories beyond the player’s path.

03 HEROIC RESOLVE

We believe in characters shaped by courage, discipline, sacrifice, and purpose. Great heroes do not need to be perfect, but they should give players something to admire, aspire to, or believe in.

04 PLAYER-FOCUSED

We are building premium single-player experiences without live-service pressure, mobile-first compromise, or exploitative monetisation. The player experience comes first — from design to delivery.

THE ROAD AHEAD

Building a studio for original worlds.

Melbourne has a strong creative and independent game development culture. Outjourney exists to add to that foundation with a long-term ambition: to build a studio capable of larger, more ambitious original projects from Australia.

That means building carefully — with strong creative direction, disciplined production, modern real-time technology, and a player-first approach to design.

We are early in the journey, but the destination is clear: original games with identity, craft, and heart.
