Seven devs. One big maw. An international team building games we actually want to play.
Sea of Thieves meets Lethal Company meets Waterworld. A PVE extraction horror shooter built around ship-to-ship combat on an open, merciless sea.
Navigate, attack, survive the environment. Naval battles are the core of every run - your ship is your lifeline and your weapon.
Loot, survive, and make it back to port - or lose everything to the water. Every run is a negotiation with the sea.
The deep doesn't stay quiet. Something is always watching - and the longer you stay out, the closer it gets.
Monster Maw is an international indie studio of seven game developers. We met in a game jam, stayed for the work - and we've been building together ever since. Small team, no filler - just games we actually want to play.
We care about tight mechanics, player-driven stories, and worlds that feel alive even when you're alone in them. Currently building Oceanbound - a horror shooter that lives and breathes at sea.
