Our Review
We've been keeping an eye on One More Level S.A. for a while now, and honestly, this Polish studio has quietly become one of the more interesting players in the indie game space. What started as a small 20-person team in Kraków back in 2014 has grown into a 60-strong operation that's actually winning awards and getting noticed on the global stage.
What Caught Our Attention
Their "gameplay first" philosophy isn't just marketing speak — you can feel it in their work. When Ghostrunner hit the scene, it wasn't just another cyberpunk game trying to ride trends. It was a genuinely fresh take on first-person slashers that somehow made ultra-difficult gameplay feel addictive rather than frustrating.
The fact that it won Best Polish Game of 2020 from Digital Dragons speaks volumes. That's not a participation trophy — that's recognition from an industry that knows good game design when it sees it.
The Smart Business Moves
What we find clever is how they've positioned themselves. They're not just developing games — they're building an ecosystem. The One More Bundle platform shows they understand that indie game success isn't just about making one hit; it's about lifting up the entire community.
Going public on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (ticker: OML) was a bold move for a studio of their size. It shows confidence and gives them access to capital that many indie studios can only dream of.
Why We're Optimistic
Ghostrunner 2 dropping in October 2023 proves they're not resting on their laurels. Building a successful sequel is tough — it needs to honor what made the original great while pushing boundaries. Early signs suggest they've nailed that balance.
Plus, having Szymon Bryła at the helm and being based in Kraków — which has become Poland's unofficial game dev capital — puts them in the right place with the right leadership. The team's mix of industry veterans and fresh talent feels like a recipe for sustained creativity rather than burnout.
