Shaping the future of independent horror

We create original IPs with transmedia strategies that push beyond the limits of traditional entertainment. By developing stories across games, film, TV, animation, comics, and live events, we harness the unique power of each medium to build rich, interconnected worlds.

Our work blends bold storytelling with psychological depth, exploring themes that resonate universally while remaining deeply personal. To ensure authenticity, we collaborate with researchers and experts to weave these elements seamlessly into our narratives.

Our team has worked on a variety of projects in the past, specializing in digital and interactive content and the horror genre.

Services

In addition to our original works, we also use our expertise to provide services for other horror, dark fantasy, and dark comedy IPs, with additional experience in applied games related to stress-, fear-, and anxiety-evoking situations:
