The Studio

Mainstream gaming left adults behind.
We built the dark side.

PRIM is an indie mobile game studio built at the intersection of Horrorcore culture and dark-carnival horror. Every game we make is a 18+ experience for the adults the mainstream forgot.

The horror game market is flooded with watered-down, teen-rated clones chasing the same blood-red aesthetic and the same disposable audience. We are not them.

If you grew up on ICP, Twiztid, and underground horror hip-hop — if you felt at home in the dark carnival long before it was a genre — PRIM was built for you.

Our games are subculture events, not products. W.I.C.K.E.D. SHINE is the first. It will not be the last.

W.I.C.K.E.D.
SHINE

An 18+ dark-carnival horror game for Android. You enter the carnival. You do not leave the same — if you leave at all.

W.I.C.K.E.D. SHINE is not a jump-scare machine. It is a descent: layered lore, Horrorcore atmosphere, and choices that carry real weight. Built for the subculture that mainstream gaming refused to serve.

  • Uncompromising 18+ dark-carnival narrative
  • Horrorcore and underground horror hip-hop aesthetic
  • Android native — built for mobile, not ported
  • Lore-deep world rooted in dark-carnival culture
