Atmosphere First
We want locations, sound, lighting, and pacing to create tension before combat even begins.
About FirstLeak Games
Independent game development with a focus on atmosphere, tension, and co-op survival.
FirstLeak Games is an independent game studio currently developing Dreadhaul, a dark 4-player co-op extraction survival game built with Unreal Engine 5.
Studio Mission
Creating focused, replayable survival experiences.
Our goal is to build games where atmosphere, team decisions, and survival pressure matter. Instead of chasing scale for its own sake, we focus on compact experiences with strong identity and replay value.
Dreadhaul is our current project and the foundation for this direction: a co-op extraction survival game built around raid pressure, team quota, vehicle extraction, and high-risk loot decisions.
Development Values
What guides our work.
Team-Based Decisions
Our systems are designed around shared risk, shared reward, and meaningful co-op choices.
Readable Systems
Players should understand why they succeeded, failed, escaped, or lost something.
Focused Scope
We prefer strong, polished systems over oversized features that weaken the core loop.
Current Project
Dreadhaul
Dreadhaul is a 4-player co-op extraction survival game where players prepare in a hub, select operations, enter dangerous interiors, collect valuable loot, load cargo into an extraction vehicle, and decide when the team should return.
