Devlog

The Package is a game about a delivery app that knows more than it should, so a normal marketing page never felt right. What we built instead boots like an old computer. You get BIOS text, a splash screen, then a desktop with icons that actually open. The game's fictional delivery app, Final Mile Express, runs in a browser window on that desktop.

Most of the work went into details nobody is required to find. Windows drag and snap to the screen edges. Opening My Computer a second time crashes the whole thing to a blue screen. The Recycle Bin has a different set of passive-aggressive filenames every time you open it. There is a Paint window that opens on its own and draws our logo while you watch, then closes itself.

The lesson we keep relearning is that the small stuff carries it. A taskbar clock showing the actual current time costs nearly nothing and does more for believability than any big effect we tried.

It also broke twice in ways that taught us something. Once from a single missing closing tag, which made the browser read the rest of the page as styling and render a blank screen. Once from a variable being used a few lines before it was declared, which silently killed every script on the page. Both took longer to find than to fix. Both were completely invisible until we actually opened the thing.

If you find something broken, there is a Bug Report app on the desktop. We read all of them.

We are Chaibyte Studios, a two-person studio started in 2025 by Anshul and Dev. This is where we will write about what we are making.

Right now that is The Package, a psychological horror game about a hitman on his last job. What we are actually chasing as a studio is stranger than any one genre: unusual, unconventional games. Ideas most people would talk themselves out of. Things that break a rule they were supposed to follow and look great doing it. The Package is the first idea that grabbed us hard enough to build, and it happened to be horror.

The plan for this devlog is not polished announcements. It is the actual process: things that worked, things that did not, decisions we changed our minds about, and the occasional bug that was funnier than it had any right to be. If you want the version with fewer words and more screenshots, that goes on Instagram and in the Discord first.

Thanks for reading this far. Genuinely, there is not much here yet and you found it anyway.
