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).

 

Working Remotely in Ontario

We’ve been operating as a fully remote studio since 2013 with team members living across Southern Ontario. It’s ideal for those with families and small children, or want career opportunities outside of the Greater Toronto Area. We’re also close enough to gather several times a year for picnics, escape rooms, and team dinners.

Interview Process & Commitment to Diversity

People of all gender identities, races, religions, and ethnicities are encouraged to apply. Part of our commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace is reflected in how we conduct our interviews: the technical portion is take-home and evaluations are anonymized. It allows you to relax and take your time. It also reduces the potential for unconscious bias on our end.
