Coming 2027

Our debut title — an atmospheric underwater adventure.

We are Bye Bye Ocean

Founded by Joel Andre Leeb-Du Toit in the hills of Abergavenny, we are a passionate team of developers, designers, and storytellers. We believe games are the most powerful medium for storytelling — and we're here to create unforgettable experiences.

From our studio in Wales, we craft interactive software that blends art, technology, and narrative. Whether it's a deep single‑player adventure or a playful mobile experience, every pixel matters.
