Description

Parhelion Rift is an independent game studio based in Vienna, Austria. The company consists of Michael Alexander Kascha and Evelyn Koller and is developing video games with unusual ideas, twists and role playing elements.

History

Beginnings

Parhelion Rift was founded in February 2017 by Michael Alexander Kascha and Evelyn Koller. Both have developed small games during their Media informatics studies at the Vienna University of Technology and after a few years of professional software engineering experience wanted to follow their passion and bring their own game ideas to life.

Cats Who Stare At Ghosts

Cats Who Stare At Ghosts was mostly inspired by the action of the teams own cats called Danger Zone, Epi Cloud, Gravity and Ashanti. They often happen to stare at a wall or ceiling where obviously nothing could be seen by the human eyes which led to speculations what they might actually see ;) The game idea was born in 2015 and production started in 2016. All graphics and animations were created by Parhelion Rift. After 8 months of development, the game was ready for release and the initial version is available for Android since March 2017. An update was released in June 2017 with an enhanced user interface.

Twofold Tales

Currently we are working on our first PC title Twofold Tales, a hand drawn 2D action adventure with metroidvania elements and a heavy focus on exploration.
