About us
Based in Stuttgart, Germany, kaleidoscube is an indie game studio focused on creating immersive, narrative-driven experiences.
Our team members first met at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in 2015, where we developed the passion for making engaging games. After collaborating on multiple projects in animation, games, and installations, we founded our game studio in Ludwigsburg in 2018 and moved it to Stuttgart in 2022.
Our first big game, “A Juggler’s Tale,” was released for PC and console in 2021, won several awards and was highly praised by players for its innovative approach to the player-narrator dynamic.
Our next game RECUR has a more gameplay-driven approach, incorporating a time-based mechanic that affects both puzzles and the story.
