Who are we?

Bad Focus Games is a new and independent studio based in Santiago, Chile.

Built by people who care more about the work than the applause. We come from all walks of life, and we've spent our lives getting good at one thing: setting clear goals and busting our ass to hit them. That's how we got here. That's how we build.

We're small, we're stubborn, and we're not waiting for permission.

WHAT WE BELIEVE in

Great games earn their audience.
We don't just want to be supported. We want to be played. Our games have to be good enough to win people over on their own, anywhere in the world, with no asterisk attached.

Art is the soul.
Identity is where we go to war. Art direction, narrative and music aren't the polish on top, they're the reason a game stays with you. If it doesn't look and feel unforgettable, we're not finished.

Epic, emotional, fun.
We want scale and spectacle, but never at the cost of heart, and never at the cost of a good time. A game that doesn't move you or entertain you is not an experience.

Made by humans who give a damn.

No shortcuts.
Clear goals and busting our ass. We’ve got ourselves to lean on and no excuses to hide behind. We decide what we want, then we break ourselves getting there.

Every idea, every frame, every line here comes from people. AI is one tool on the bench, not the workshop, and never the point. We use it where it helps and we own everything that ships. No slop, no shortcuts, no hiding behind a machine. If it carries the Bad Focus name, a human fought for it.
