About The Company

We’re very new. We work pretty silly hard sometimes. Our standards are high, systems being built & our office is a London basement. But…We are building and partnering with some of the most exciting indie game development talent in the world. Every individual makes a huge mark on what we do and what we will become. If you’re a brilliant  ‘build it together’ person over a ‘what’s my job title?’ person, this might just be the place for you.
