Announcing Bay 23
We're making Bay 23: a co-op extraction game where you and your crew are package-handling robots working a shift in a facility that doesn't want you reading the labels too closely.
You’re just here to move the boxes.
Bay 23 is a co-op extraction game where you and your crew are PICKER units, corporate logistics robots clocking in for a shift in a facility that has been moving cargo since 1976. Each shift, The Controller hands you a manifest: locate the packages, verify them, carry them to the lift, and seal the shipment. Simple work. The Controller would rather you didn’t read the labels too closely, it doesn’t explain why some units stop coming back, and it has no word in its vocabulary for the thing that works the night shift with you.
We’re Hidden State Games, a small studio out of Brighton, UK. If any of this sounds like your kind of shift, the Discord is where we’re posting progress, and where playtest invites go out first.
Clock in. Read the labels. Watch the aisles.
