We do this by fostering talent through investment in independent projects with potential, bringing back classic titles, promising indies and AAA games while continuing to support the physical format.
We are ChaoticBrain Studios, an indie videogame studio from Madrid that has just started this adventure, which is to develop our own videogame. We are a small studio formed by 3 people, that after finishing our studies, we had the brilliant idea (Spoiler, no) to develop a JRPG as our first videogame.
And with this premise in mind, and thanks to our love for the Cyberpunk theme and great videogames like FFVII, Octopath traveler and Cyberpunk 2077, the idea of Neon Blood was born. And that’s how I met your mother… sorry, that’s how I met ChaoticBrain Studios.
