Thing Trunk is an independent game developer located in Warsaw. The company was established in August 2012 by Maciej Biedrzycki, Konstanty Kalicki and Filip Starzyński, former co-funders of Twin Bottles and Codeminion (known for casual games such as Phantasmat, Ancient Quest of Saqquarah, StoneLoops! of Jurassica).[1][2]
The company initially focused on defining principles of Return 2 Games - a series of 7 titles aiming to re-capture the feeling and experience of classic games from the '90s.[3][4] The series were announced three years after creation of the studio (2015).[5] All games in the series will utilize card mechanics and take place in the same setting (called Paperverse) in which characters and objects are made of cut and folded paper.[6][7] Games from the series are aimed at mid-core gamers.[8][9] Games are made in CUG (Thing Trunk's in-house engine).[1]
