Studio Factsheet
About Backyard Games
Backyard Games is a fully remote games studio founded by Nash Lawrence and Jay Badcock in Queensland, Australia. We make games shaped by coastal bushlands, sun-bleached verandahs, CRT monitors, and the uncanny tension of regional suburbs at dusk.
Working remotely allows our team to operate with minimal overhead while prioritizing creative freedom and sustainable production. We are committed to investing directly into the Australian game development industry, backing domestic talent, and building enduring, original PC game franchises.

Beyond The Frame
An atmospheric mystery PC game exploring suburban liminality, tactile mechanics, and grounded retro sensibilities, following a child named Charlie through fear, anxiety, and surreal dream logic. Designed for players who value environmental immersion, slow-burn tension, and rich world-building.
