The company
Those Eyes develops award-winning video games, art, film and animation. The company was established in 1999 and operates with sincerity, play and humor.
Known for Cosmic Top Secret (2018), Mouse & Crane (2025), and Real Vampires (2025), we collaborate on projects across Europe (and even overseas) to craft with the best. Our keystones are paper prototyping, game jams and analogue approaches to the digital world. Our goal is to create sincere, playful content and heartfelt storytelling experiences. Maybe break some new ground along the way :)
