The team is made by three passionate independent developers from Europe and Los Angeles, who put all their minds and souls to achieve something that gets as close as possible to the dream-game they wish they could’ve played when they were kids. Leonard Menchiari, director of the project, worked with Valve in 2011-2012 and published a game in 2017. The team worked mostly online, but occasionally met up in different locations around the world to keep the emotion, spirituality, and feelings alive.​
