3StrakGames is an indie game studio.
Founded by two brothers who immigrated to the USA from South Africa, to make video games.
They have released two games that are available on Steam:
DEDstress: a first-person, comedic, survival-horror game. Set in a South African mental hospital that treats patients who have been traumatized by constant power outages. Based on the game jam DIDstress.
Bloat: a 2.5D psychedelic puzzle game, set in a strange world inspired by traditional African beadwork.
