Black Salt Games is a small indie studio from New Zealand driven by a love for video games. Our goal is to make interesting games that we’d want to play!

Black Salt Games is a collaboration between three game developers and a studio manager with dreams of bringing their own games to the world (from way down in New Zealand). Our debut title Dredge will show you the sorts of games we want to be known for; high immersion, excellent execution and with a bit of a difference from anything you’ve played before. We’ll be sharing our journey as we go and documenting our progress, hiccups and wtf moments. Join our newsletter and discord channel or follow us on social media to keep up with what we’re doing.
