Games that empower players to choose their own play-style, making their experience unique. That encourages players to team up with their friends and weave their own shared narrative. The kind of games that are powered by our player’s vision as much as ours: Player Powered games!
The studio is currently developing two new original games: Thick as Thieves and Argos. More to be revealed on each, in due time
