The continent is divided. God is dying. A Nun branded as witch and a deserter Knight fight to unify the God in us. Which side are you?
Homage to Dragon Force (Sega Saturn) mechanics and Berserk (Manga) world, with a touch of Shining Force and Fire Emblem, this project started from a Dark Fantasy novel from the founders (to be published synced with game release). This project is a passion letter to retro Strategy & Tactical RPGs.
Pedagogical game for new language aquisition/spelling. Tower of Babel trew the world in caos, is up to you to climb it and collect the missing words spellings.
We believe that games, besides being art mediums, can also serve as pedagogical tools. This game was born from academic work, with the objective of aiding in non-native language acquisition or enhancing native spelling and vocabulary. A non-pedagogical mode will also be released to enjoy the pure mechanics. We believe fun and learning can go hand in hand.
Children's story, winner of the Matilde Rosa Araújo Prize 2025. It tells the story of a wolf born with an insatiable hunger, who dreams of one day devouring the world: but will that truly bring him happiness? A timely and humorous tale that explores excess and the "hungry wolves" of the modern world in a playful way.
We seek talented individuals to join our squads. We value multidisciplinarity and strong portfolios and believe that a company's success starts with its people. We're located in Portugal and offer remote work opportunities, valuing criativity and your well-being (we work SCRUM style).
