Two heroes. One arena. One player.

Our first Steam game is a reverse bullet-hell roguelite where you steer two heroes at once. One primes the swarm with an element, the other detonates it.

The studio

Built small on purpose.

Metro Mystery is a small independent studio based in Houston, Texas. Being small means we can chase the odd idea, the one that sounds wrong in a pitch meeting and feels right in your hands, and keep polishing it until it does.

We started with word games and party games on the web. Now we're taking what we learned there to Steam. We'd rather ship one mechanic that surprises you than ten you've seen before.

  • One hook per gameEvery project starts from a single mechanic worth building a game around.
  • Depth over paddingSystems that reward mastery and theory-crafting, not checklists.
  • Respect for your timePick up, play a run, put down. Come back because you want to.

Hear it from us first.

One email when Dual Fuse launches on Steam. That's the whole list.
