We have a tremendous team who shipped our last game, A Fold Apart, on all the consoles, PC, mobile, and even Apple TV, with different control schemes, in fifteen languages, with each one feeling like it was the primary platform. Narratively, we’ve made people cry. Artistically, we’ve wowed players (with the biggest Museum in Seoul even doing an exhibition of our game art). Technically, we’ve delivered a brand new mechanic that was so innovative, it was highlighted at the GDC Experimental Gameplay Workshop. We were also thrilled to work with Apple as part of the first cohort in their Apple Arcade offering which netted A Fold Apart the title of Best Mobile game at the Canadian Game Awards in 2021 (along with nominations in six other categories).
