Kabus 22 was developed by Son Işık, a Turkish video game studio founded in 2004 by a small team of young developers. Inspired by similar survival-horror games such as Resident Evil, they began working on Kabus 22 the same year. The game's development took three years and was rife with difficulties. The team had little to no experience in game development and had to work within a limited budget and with limited internet access. At the time, the Turkish tax code did not recognize video games as a distinct product category, meaning the developers could not submit a tax stamp application and legally sell the game in Turkey. The team have been suggested to categorize the game as a film instead, that way they could obtain a tax stamp without legislative intervention. Since no game publishers existed in Turkey at the time, the game was distributed by Vestel, a Turkish appliance store chain. Kabus 22 was released in Turkey on Christmas day 2006. Over the following years it received additional international releases, mostly in Eastern Europe and Russia. In 2019, after rebranding to Motion Blur, the original development studio released the game for free on their YouTube channel.
