Games for people who don't have time for games.

Ballard Games is a fully-remote indie game development company. We build PC and console games.

Few Shall Return

Our first game has been out in Early Access on Steam since July 21, 2026. It's a multiplayer dungeon extraction game where each round takes seven and a half minutes. You team up with the other players to get through the dungeon, but only a few of you get to leave.
