Studio Philosophy

Shadow Jungle Studio was founded in Lviv in 2018 with the goal of creating games that combine deep narrative experience with innovative gameplay. We believe that games are not just entertainment, but a powerful tool for exploring complex philosophical questions and emotional stories.

Our mission is to make players think, feel, and see the world in a new way. Through the prism of shadows and light, we explore the duality of human nature, the thin line between reality and illusion, life and death.

We strive to create games that stay with the player even after they turn off their computer - stories that resonate in the heart and mind, making them ask questions and seek answers.

"Truth lies in the shadow, illusion in the light. Our task is to teach the player to see in the darkness."
— Studio Manifesto

Our Workspace

Main studio office in Lviv

Creative space for brainstorming

Programmers' workspace

Our office is located in the historic center of Lviv, in a restored 19th-century building. We have combined vintage architecture with modern interior, creating a space that inspires creativity and innovation.

We believe that the environment in which the team works directly affects the quality of our work, which is why we paid special attention to creating a comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing workspace.
