We’re Higgs Studio, an indie studio building a dark, story-driven adventure horror puzzle game. Think haunting atmosphere, rich environmental storytelling, and mechanics that reward curiosity.

• Love storytelling through mechanics and lighting
• Are comfortable working independently and communicating in a remote environment
