It all started in Copenhagen with a small group squatting in a university classroom for 7 months, getting discovered, and moving in together for 3 years. Through a kickstarter, a private bank loan, and perseverance we released FORCED, selling 500,000+ copies and since reaching millions of players with Minion Masters.
