About Us
We are an independent game developer with a focus on creating unique and innovative experiences. We are currently a team of ten, working on two projects. We don't do work for hire - all our projects come from the team internally.
The company was founded in 2011 to develop Among the Sleep, a horror game where you play as a 2-year old child, which was released in 2014. We then moved on to Mosaic, a story about urban isolation and our modern society, released in 2019. Our latest release is the food truck adventure game Fruitbus, released in 2024.
We've also created smaller experimental titles, like The Plan, where you play as a fly, and our most recent release, Sunlight, a gentle, philosophical “audiobook” experience.
Our office is located centrally in Oslo, at Youngstorget, shared with our friends Hyper Games and Megapop. Together we make up the game developer collective Oslo Game Hub.
