MAGANA creates short, atmospheric psychological horror games — abandoned houses, cursed dolls, hospitals nobody should have walked into. Every game is designed and built in Unity, released free on itch.io.
Two released horror games, both free to play, both built and shipped by MAGANA.

A short horror game shot in a deliberate VHS style. The player explores an abandoned house on what looks like a simple search — until it becomes clear something in the dark has been watching the whole time.

You play as John, an adventurer who walks into an abandoned hospital looking for answers. Between locked doors, hidden keys and codes, the building has its own idea of who gets to leave.
MAGANA is an independent game studio focused on creating atmospheric horror experiences built around tension, exploration and psychological storytelling. Every project is designed to be short, deliberate, and unsettling rather than long or combat-driven.
Zakaria founded MAGANA and leads every part of its games — design, development and release — shaping the studio's atmospheric, psychological approach to horror.
A small studio, a clear point of view, and a preference for atmosphere over jump scares. MAGANA's games are built to be finished in one sitting and remembered after.
MAGANA is a solo development effort — every discipline below is handled in-house.
Something new is in production. Details are staying classified for now — this space will update the moment there's something worth showing.

This space is reserved for trailers, gameplay clips and devlogs. Once real footage exists, it will appear here as embedded YouTube videos.
