The origins of Harpagun and its creators trace back nearly a decade to the success of SUPERHOT. Following its acclaim, part of the development and operations team set out to build high-quality, innovative VR games—leading to the birth of a new studio. Amusingly, its name, Something Random, came from an old Discord channel, once a hub for exchanging game ideas. At the time, Harpagun was just one of those random concepts.
With expertise in development and operations, the founders have grown a dream studio that has nearly tripled, fostering a unique creative culture. Based in Łódź, Poland—known for its thriving game development scene—Something Random thrives among artists, students, and innovators.
Our mission is simple: Making games for people, not just for gamers, but for everyone. This philosophy shapes Harpagun and will define all future titles from Something Random.
