History

Founding

Founded in 2019, Twisted BrainZ was originally composed of two people. There’s Louise, an enthusiastic artist channelling her skills towards games, and Axel, an award-winning producer and sound specialist who dreamt of combining his passion for videogames with music to help shape a new landscape for audio in the medium.

AST-Hero

AST-Hero is the first project the Twisted BrainZ team brought to life. It all started by teaming up with Shaman77, a solo game dev with exceptional coding skills. They decided to participate in the 8th Game-Jam Francophone with the hope of making something special. Their hopes were not in vain, winning the game-jam with a surge of positive comments and acclaim. After a long polishing session, they decided to publish AST-Hero for a wider audience. Being a three-person team had its challenges, but the game had a flawless release on Steam on 20.09.2022!

Rise Of Peles

Rise of Peles is the second game from Twisted BrainZ in collaboration with Shaman77. The two entities have been hard at work on the title since 2020, and are excited to bring players an RPG/Adventure/Crafting adventure boasting the same level of care and passion as their previous titles.

Turtles!
