Game worlds from a different perspective.
Nature Bit Studios develops interactive experiences centred on nature, perception and discovery. Our current project is CHUKO — an adventure where the sense of smell points the way.
01 · The Studio
Nature meets interactive technology.
Nature Bit Studios develops interactive games and systems that connect nature, perception and technology.
The studio works across game systems, software, hardware interfaces and serious games. With CHUKO, it is exploring how a world changes when smell, rather than sight, becomes the central sense.

CHUKO
Smell is Gameplay
Chuko, Magnus and Lilly experience their surroundings from a dog’s perspective. Scent trails are designed to shape orientation, discovery and decisions.
The project is being developed with Unreal Engine 5.8. A reusable Scent Framework provides the foundation; the ZESTUM Scentbar is planned as an optional physical scent output. Additional hardware will not be required to play.
More about CHUKO
From the Scent Framework to a Gameplay Moment
The Scent Framework is intended to turn technical scent parameters into clear decisions and readable gameplay moments.
