Hello there!

We’re Nerdy Bear Studio, an indie studio outfit with a big dream and an even bigger story to tell. 

You're invited to dive into the world of the Animal Planet in the city of Hamsterdamm—a colorful, chaotic detective noir first-person shooter where mystery is around every corner, clues matter, and love is just as dangerous as crime.

We’re launching this BackerKit campaign to support the ongoing development of Hamsterdamm and introduce you to our free demo now available on itch.io. This is your chance to be part of something special from the ground up—and help us raise $25,000 to take the next leap forward.

Set in a 1950s-inspired city overrun with crime and brimming with the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance, Nerdy Bear Studios' Hamsterdamm follows Detective Fatback and Detective Colla-greens—partners in crime-solving and in life—on their honeymoon-turned-hunt for justice. This stylized game blends over-the-top gunplay, gritty puzzle-solving, jazzy interrogation scenes, and explosive boss fights into one unforgettable experience.

The demo showcases the first stage and noir-meets-cartoon aesthetic. But to bring the full vision to life, we need your help.

Where Does the $25,000 Go?

Here’s how your support breaks down:

Every dollar brings us closer to a full, polished release across PC and console. The more we raise, the more outrageous and immersive the world of Hamsterdamm becomes—from bigger levels to even stranger suspects.

Why Back Now?

We’re not a massive studio with deep pockets—we're a passionate creator with a vision that just won’t quit.
Backing this campaign isn’t just funding a game. It’s helping build a world where detectives wear trench coats, drop jazz bars like one-liners, and blast through noir nightmares with style.

Thank you for checking out Hamsterdamm. Let’s make something legendary—together.
