Silver Bell Studios is an indie game studio founded by Anouk Hoekstra in the Netherlands in 2026.
Silver Bell Studios was founded on the belief that games should be made with soul, care, and full conviction.
We believe passion shines brightest and is our most noticeable trait as a studio. Our focus is on delivering rich narratives, worlds, and atmosphere without being defined by a single genre or set of mechanics.
Silver Bell Studios was founded by Anouk Hoekstra after completing the study "Creative Media & Game Technologies" at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen, the Netherlands. Having solo-developed the Vertical Slice for Lonesome Feather, she was eager to put down some real roots to continue building.
Currently, Silver Bell Studios is a one-woman show. As a solo developer, Anouk is responsible for the creative direction, narrative design, level design, 3D art, research, and implementation (read: everything) behind the studio's debut project and super secret prototypes.
