Our niche is systems-driven simulation and strategy games where depth, clarity, and long-term replayability matter more than spectacle without structure.
About The Studio
About Outbreak Interactive
Outbreak Interactive is an indie game studio building simulation and strategy games with a systems-driven focus on depth, clarity, and player-driven outcomes.
Studio Overview
Systems first, stories through play.
We build systems-driven simulation and strategy games where memorable moments come from the way mechanics interact in play.
Outbreak Interactive is a simulation game developer and strategy-focused studio currently led by Dean Lennard, with freelance specialist support helping bring each project to life.
What The Studio Is Building Toward
A long-term systems-driven simulation and strategy studio.
Outbreak Interactive is being built around simulation and strategy games where mechanics matter, information stays readable, and player stories emerge from interacting systems.
That means being selective about what gets made, how scope is handled, and how design decisions reinforce the kind of play the studio wants to be known for.
It also means thinking beyond a single launch. The goal is to create systems-driven games with strong foundations, clear identity, and room for long-term depth rather than chasing novelty without structure. You can see how that approach plays out on the Arcbound page and across the broader player guides.
