Forbidden Folds
We expertise in Games, Animation and Mixed Reality, creating everything from concept to a finished product.
We create focused interactive experiences, pushing simple ideas to their extreme without overstaying their welcome. We value your time and our games reflect that. Our worlds are immediately recognizable and engaging, staying in your head and heart, even after you stopped playing.
We are in our element creating stunning visuals, be they cute, creepy, or somewhere in the middle.
Our worlds are distinct and recognizable so that players remember them fondly, even long after they’ve stopped playing. A charming style makes our games stand out and immediately attracts attention.
A strong narrative goes hand in hand with our worlds, we always have a story to tell.
We value our players’ time and our games represent that. True to the motto “quality over quantity”, we strive to create full-fledged experiences at a smaller scale but with a high level of polish. We are convinced that it’s the fine details that separate a good game from a great game.
We believe that intuitive game mechanics that feel good and rewarding to use can elevate games and make them accessible and enjoyable for everyone. We always go the extra mile to ensure this.
Our previous experience spans from exciting single player platformers over local multiplayer battle arenas to calm round-based games and we are always eager to put our own spin on established genres.
Our tools and systems help us make games more efficiently so we can focus on the big picture.
We also gained experience by developing a plugin (for Unreal Engine 4) for analyzing remote playtests as well as multiple in-editor systems that help us streamline our creation processes.
We design our games around a certain idea that we as a team are confident in. We push that idea to its extreme without overstaying its welcome. Such an idea could be anything from a gameplay mechanic to a visual gimmick, but the final gameplay experience always remains our top priority.
With that in mind, we also try to focus on one project at a time to give it our full attention. We strongly value clear communication of ideas. Be it through pretty conceptart, greyboxed level blockouts or a technical prototype, we ensure everyone involved knows where a project is headed and what we aim to achieve.
The team is fluent and proficient in Unreal Engine (4 & 5), our engine of choice. Moreover, individual members of the team also have experience in other engines such as Unity. Forbidden Folds is a certified Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox developer.
Agile project management combined with our young and eager team is an explosive comibination that leads to polished experiences.
Forbidden Folds is an Epic MegaGrants recipient and has won the Ubisoft Newcomer Award at the German Developer Award.
