Who we are
For two decades we drew monsters, wrote impossible worlds, and shipped them under other names. Unknown Creature is the banner we finally raise as our own — a studio for original games, characters, and stories that honor where we come from.
Many crafts.
One creature.
Serious play
Educational games
We turn complex knowledge into experiences students actually want to play — currently building edugames for universities across Bolivia and Belgium.
Characters & story
Two decades of comics, character design, and narrative across Mexico, the US, and Europe.
Animation & art
Hand-crafted motion and illustration that finally gives the unknown a face.
Engineering
Full-stack systems, AI, and the production tech that keeps the studio shipping.
The studio
From Mérida
to Houston
Five Yucatecans, one studio, two countries. We honor our roots while building for a global audience.
2005
Our story traces back to My Pet Stone, one of the earliest graphic design and illustration studios in Mérida — where most of us first met and learned the craft.

Benjamín Carbonero dreams up Unknown Creature — a concept and a creature that would eventually pull the whole team under one banner.
2024
Unknown Creature Games is formally founded in Mérida, Yucatán, with a business center in Houston, Texas leading international operations.

We embark on our first original game — the first time we share all of our creative talent with the world under our own name.
