Description

We are an Austrian independent game studio with 14+ years’ experience in Unity-based games and a track record of 25+ published titles.

History

The people behind Rarebyte originally met back in 1999. After working together and sharpening our skills for several years, we officially founded Rarebyte as a company in 2006. Right from the start we were aiming for the top, so we skipped the cliché of a garage-based company and went straight for the attic. In 2008 we self-published our first official release called Waterstorm, a fast-paced side-scrolling multi-player submarine shooter. We developed all needed tech (game engine, editor, game client, backend) ourselves. Since then, Rarebyte has become a well-established indie game studio.

Our projects include:

We Are Screwed!

The most recent of our own projects, We Are Screwed! is a chaotic co-op space action game for 1-4 players. You are the crew of the worst space vessel in the known galaxy, and you must operate, manage, and repair your spaceship on a crazy-hilarious journey to save the Multiverse!

Game Dev Tycoon (mobile)

In collaboration with Greenheart Games, we created a mobile version for the critically acclaimed game development business simulation.

Publishing

We also publish games by other indie developers, such as Rogue Glitch, a platformer's paradise within a roguelite world of procedurally generated levels and arrays of enemies, and Ratz Instagib, where 'Shoot first, eat cheese later' is a valid philosophy of life.

Seeds of Sol

Our isometric action adventure with roguelike elements feat. a multiple personality AI.

Event-based games

We also have a long history of developing games designed to attract people to stands at events like Gamescon and Paris Games Week.
