Description

King Brick Games is a new independent game studio comprised of four founding members. We aim to make games that push the boundaries of gameplay and storytelling, and we seek to constantly challenge ourselves to create new experiences.

History

Early history

The origins of King Brick Games can be traced to an honors thesis project created by Liam Harwood. This project would serve as the inspiration for what would become Obscurant, the studio's debut game.

Formation and developing Obscurant

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Liam asked three friends and prior collaborators if they wanted to help bring Obscurant to life. Brian McCarthy, Maxim Vitkin, and Eri Caferra would all join the team, and together, King Brick Games would work on Obscurant for the next two years. The game would finally release on Steam on April 29, 2022.
