KTX Software
KTX Software (also known as KTX Software Development) is a small international independent game development company specializing in entertainment software for PC and classic consoles. Founded by CEO Thomas Musal and Chief Technical Officer Robert Konrad (among others), the studio is best known for its passion projects, including ports and original titles for the Sega Dreamcast, as well as PC releases built with engines like Unreal Engine 3. The company holds official development licenses from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, and relies on its in-house development stack (Kt & Kha) for multi-platform work.
KTX Software focuses on niche, atmospheric games with horror, adventure, and action elements. It has a loyal following in retro communities, particularly among Dreamcast fans, and occasionally releases DLC or soundtracks alongside main titles. As of 2026, the studio remains active but operates at a small scale with limited new releases.
Notable Games
Here are the main titles associated with KTX Software (primarily on PC via Steam, with some Dreamcast versions):
The Haunted: Hells Reach (2011, PC – Unreal Engine 3)
A fast-paced third-person horror shooter where you fight hordes of demons to liberate cursed locations. It started as a mod that won the 2010 “Make Something Unreal” contest and evolved into a full game with co-op elements, intense action, and atmospheric horror. It received positive feedback for its fast gameplay and received later DLC packs (The Island in 2021 and The Fog in 2022). Highest-rated title from the studio (~80% positive on Steam).
Leona’s Tricky Adventures (2014, PC and Dreamcast)
A platformer/adventure game featuring the character Leona in tricky, puzzle-filled levels. Notable as one of the later official Dreamcast releases, with a strong retro appeal and physical editions supported by the community.
Redux: Dark Matters (2014, PC and Dreamcast)
A sci-fi action/adventure title with darker themes and atmospheric storytelling. It also saw a Dreamcast version and includes an official soundtrack DLC.
The studio has also released soundtracks as separate DLC and maintains a small catalog focused on horror-action and platforming genres.
Platforms and Availability
PC (Steam): The primary platform for most titles. Games like The Haunted: Hells Reach are available digitally (often on sale), with full Steam features (achievements, cloud saves). The Haunted remains the most played title, though player counts are modest.
Sega Dreamcast: KTX Software has a special connection here, releasing or porting games late in the console’s life (or via homebrew/modern reproductions). Titles like Leona’s Tricky Adventures and Redux: Dark Matters gained cult status among Dreamcast collectors.
No official releases for modern consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, or Switch 2) as of April 2026. The studio’s focus has stayed on PC and retro platforms.
Quick Overview
KTX Software is a passionate indie outfit that punches above its weight in niche markets, especially retro gaming. Their games emphasize fun, atmosphere, and community support rather than blockbuster production values. The Haunted: Hells Reach stands out as their most successful and accessible title for horror shooter fans, while Dreamcast releases appeal to hardware enthusiasts.
If you’re into fast demonic action or late-era Dreamcast gems, KTX Software’s catalog offers affordable, characterful experiences on PC (and vintage hardware).
