WHO I AM

I'm Özi — an indie game developer and co-founder of ZTEK Studio, a two-person team building horror games that push co-op to its limits.

Our debut title PANICORE puts up to 5 players in decaying locations with AI monsters that don't just see you — they hear your voice. It launched in May 2024 and hit 1,500,000+ owners on Steam.

When I'm not building games, I build tools for developers — analytics dashboards, visibility trackers and data tools that make Steam's overwhelming data actually readable.
