SLOTH DOCTOR GAMES

At Sloth Doctor Games, we believe talented developers deserve opportunities to grow, build confidence, and gain real industry experience. Our studio was created to help aspiring developers strengthen their skills, collaborate creatively, and build portfolio-ready work while contributing to exciting projects.

While many of our developers are based in Dundee - a city with a rich history in game development - our team also includes talented creatives from across Europe and Africa. By bringing together developers from different backgrounds and experiences, we aim to create a collaborative and supportive environment where creativity can thrive.

We’re passionate about creating immersive gaming experiences that blend retro inspiration with modern design. Our current project, Heldritch Rush, captures the spirit of 90s horror while introducing fresh mechanics and striking visuals for a modern audience.

Our Story

We are Sloth Doctor Games - a fresh indie studio formed by graduates from Abertay University in Dundee. Our journey began in summer 2024, when we developed our first game, Heldritch Rush, for DARE Academy.

As finalists, we showcased Heldritch Rush at EGX London. Since then, our team has grown, bringing together talented developers from Dundee and across the globe. We’ve taken everything we learned from the original project and rebuilt Heldritch Rush from the ground up - expanding the world, refining the gameplay, and pushing our vision further than ever before.

We’re incredibly excited to share a bigger, bolder, and even better version of Heldritch Rush with players around the world.

Current Project

Heldritch Rush

Heldritch Rush is a '90s-inspired isometric rail-shooter with accessibility features that were unheard of back in the day. Whether you're a seasoned fan of rail-shooters, grew up on PlayStation 1 or Dreamcast classics, or are just discovering the magic of retro games - Heldritch Rush delivers a powerful hit of nostalgia and, most importantly, a damn fun experience.
