ABOUT US
Bad Viking is the indie game development studio of UK-based brothers Rob and John Donkin. For over a decade, we’ve been quietly building a catalogue of imaginative, genre-spanning games – ranging from whimsical multiplayer chaos in Bad Eggs to atmospheric narrative puzzlers.
We’re best known for Strange Horticulture, the critically and publicly acclaimed indie hit praised for its originality, rich atmosphere, and occult charm.
Rob handles the programming. John brings the art to life. Together, we make games that are a little offbeat, a little unexpected, and entirely our own.
