84 Games

Independent games. Unconventional ideas.

84 Games is an independent game studio founded by Shardoolsen Jadhav, an architect, designer, educator, author and lifelong student of how things work.

Founded out of a fascination with game design, visual experimentation and the possibilities of interactive experiences, 84 Games is a space for turning unconventional ideas into playable realities.

Our first release, Dread Vector, is a personal tribute to two rather extraordinary machines: the Vectrex and Nintendo's Virtual Boy. Their commercial histories may have been very different, but both dared to explore visual identities that stood apart from the mainstream.

That fascination became a design challenge: What if we combined the visual minimalism and distinctive character of vintage gaming with the fluidity, depth and expectations of modern gameplay?

Dread Vector is our answer.

At 84 Games, we believe games don't need to follow established conventions to be enjoyable. We're interested in experimentation, distinctive aesthetics, thoughtful mechanics and, above all, making things we'd genuinely love to play.

We're just getting started.

84 Games. Different ideas. Playable realities.
