Dark Ocean Games is an indie game development studio founded by Fabio G. Thomas, who is solely responsible for all programming, creation, and direction within the studio. Based in the UK and Canada, the studio focuses primarily on creating visual novels that bring awareness to mental health issues, including drug addiction, suicide, depression, and self-acceptance. In addition to developing games, Fabio also writes books that delve into similar themes.

​

The mission of Dark Ocean Games is to use storytelling as a tool to educate and inspire positive change. Fabio believes that engaging, thought-provoking content can help break down the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage open, honest conversations about these important topics.

​

With firsthand experience of mental health challenges, Fabio understands how isolating these struggles can feel and aims to make others feel less alone. Recognizing that not everyone knows where to seek support, he is committed to reaching out to those who may not even realize they need help. His goal is to create a world where mental health is destigmatized and openly discussed, ensuring everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive. With a solid foundation in mental health research, Fabio continually updates his knowledge to create content that is both evidence-based and widely relatable.

​

Dark Ocean Games is committed to producing games and books that have a constructive impact on people’s lives, inspiring them to seek help or make strides toward self-improvement. To support this mission, a portion of profits is donated to mental health organizations, with a particular focus on suicide prevention.
