Spellbound Labs — a purple wizard hat above the studio wordmark

An independent game studio with a dream to make people happy through our work.

About the Lab

Spellbound Labs is a small, independent studio that treats game development like alchemy: equal parts craft, experimentation, and a healthy disregard for the recipe. We build games with strong atmosphere, systems that reward curiosity, and a sprinkle of our goofy personality.

Craft

Handmade worlds with intentional detail

Curiosity

Systems that reward poking at the edges

Wonder

Atmosphere first, always

Malpractice

Co-op plague-doctor survival horror · 1–4 players

A team of plague doctors enters the cursed village of Yorkfield to diagnose and treat the afflicted, survive a voice-mimicking forest predator, and escape by boat before darkness, scarcity, and panic consume the run. The monster doesn't just hunt you — it listens to your group and uses your trust against you.

The forest listens

The Leshy stalks from unseen vantage points and replays your teammates' own voices to lure the isolated away from the group.

Cure to escape

Every patient in Yorkfield carries an ailment that demands the right diagnosis and treatment — and every cure draws the monster's attention.

Light is life

Lanterns, water, and supplies run thin. Each trip beyond the safe zones is a bet against darkness, scarcity, and panic.

Escape together

1–4 player online co-op with voice chat, rescues, and a boat that only leaves once the village is cured.
