About this game
Dead men tell no tales. The living only scream.
A new era of survival horror arrives with Black Tides: Draga's Wake. Step into the boots of Draga, a hardened smuggler and pirate first mate whose ultimate heist has gone catastrophically wrong. Trapped aboard the Ormora—a decaying 1900s steamship icelocked in unpredictable waters—you must navigate a labyrinth of iron to find your missing crew while fighting a losing battle against the ritualistic, cosmic horrors that have breached our reality.
Nightmare of Flesh and Steel
Step into an oppressive landscape dominated by riveted steel, hiss-venting steam pipes, and failing turn-of-the-century machinery. The Ormora isn't just a backdrop—it's a claustrophobic, labyrinthine character in itself, built to disorient you and harbor ritualistic, cosmic horrors that have manifested within the ship's flooded lower decks.
DRAGA BOLIVAR
A hardened sailor and career thief who has spent his life following Caleb's orders without question — until the Ormora forces him to question everything. Draga is not a hero. He is a survivor, a loyalist, and a man whose moral code was built for a simpler world. As the ship's horrors consume his crew one by one and an ancient god takes root in his body, Draga must choose between the man he was and the something terrifying he is becoming.
Izzy Koleva
A former cultist who escaped the Children of Gaia's grip — but not its influence. Izzy knows the rituals, the doctrine, and the lies. Skilled in alchemy, she is one of the few people alive who truly understands what the cult is trying to do, and what it will cost if they succeed. Draga doesn't trust her. He may not have a choice.
VISCERAL, HIGH-STAKES BRAWLER COMBAT
Survival isn't just about running away; it's about fighting back with everything you have. Engage in brutal, close-quarters combat against twisted, mutated entities. Every strike has weight, every impact is visceral, and every mistake is costly.
KEY GAMEPLAY FEATURES
Master the Melee & Dodge: Rely on your reflexes and wits. Perfect your timing to dodge devastating enemy attacks and unleash heavy brawler-style combos to tear through flesh and bone.
Quick-Fire Under Pressure: Seamlessly weave ranged quick-fire attacks into your melee flow to keep aggressive monstrosities at bay or exploit sudden openings in their defenses.
Ruthless Resource Management: Ammo, health, and power are scarce. Every encounter requires you to calculate the cost of engagement. Will you burn your precious resources to guarantee a kill, or risk getting up close and personal to save them?
An Unforgiving Body Horror Nightmare: Navigate a grim, custom-built world steeped in atmospheric dread, graphic gore, and grotesque anatomical terrors where danger lurks in every shadow and victory is bought in blood.

Dev log Update #001
I Kept Waiting for Someone to Make This GameA note from Greg J Strangis, Creative DirectorDev Log #001 Hey everyone! My name is Greg J Strangis. I've spent Sixteen years as a Character and Creature artist at studios like Rockstar Games, Naughty Dog, and Turtle Rock Studios. For most of my career, I was building other people's visions. I did it at the highest level I could, and learned everything I possibly could along the way. But there was always something pulling at the back of my mind.I wanted to make something of my own. Black Tides Draga's Wake is the result of that pull. It's the game I kept waiting for someone else to make one that takes creature and character design seriously as a storytelling medium, not just as spectacle. One that earns its horror through craft rather than shock. It possesses that Guillermo del Toro quality I've always admired: beauty and monstrousness occupying the same space, mythology given real weight, and characters who feel like they've lived a full life before you ever meet them. Strange Creature Factory Ltd is a small studio built around a team of specialists and generalists who care deeply about this kind of work. We don't have the resources of a major publisher. What we do have is a vision that's been sharpened over decades of professional practice, and the craft to execute it at a level that independent games rarely reach. Set aboard the Ormora, an icebound whaling ship overrun by a doomsday cult, Draga’s Wake is brutal, atmospheric, and strange. The creature design draws on a mix of old methodologies, channeling the intimate, transformational body horror of classics like The Thing and Leviathan tied directly to characters in ways that truly matter to the story. We're in active development and building something truly unique. If this is the kind of game you've been waiting for, Wishlist it, share it with your friends and follow our journey!We'll see you aboard the Ormora... if you surviveGreg J Strangis Owner / Creative Director...Read full article on Community Announcements (strangecreaturefactory)
