About our game and organization
With our upcoming game in production we are developing a meaningful card-based game in a historical and mythological universe. The aim is to be so accurate that people get a great sense of the past.
The player will be thrown back in time to figure out what happened and construct a historical time line. This will be based on a narrative according to historical records, where decisions making and dilemmas open for an engaging gameplay that results in conflicts. This innovative turn based game sees historical characters on cards move on a grid board. The inspiration comes from: Magic, Civilizations, Age of Empires and Heroes and more.
We are an early stage startup that is disrupting the game industry, by making meaningful games that can make impact in people\s lives!
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a visionary and loving small family of professionals. We believe that making games should be as fun as playing them.
