About
The Game Band

Since our inception in 2015, we have dedicated ourselves to broadening the video game audience by crafting stories across unconventional genres, mechanics, and gameplay styles.

Our first two games, “Where Cards Fall” and “Blaseball”, received widespread acclaim and captured the hearts of players. Just as our favorite bands continually reinvent their sound, we hope to always surprise you with what comes next.

 

Benefits

  • Health coverage. We cover 99% of employee premiums and 50% of premiums for dependents for medical, dental and vision insurance.
  • Paid time off. 15 days of PTO annually – 10 vacation days and 5 flex days
  • Personal comfort. Stipend for office setup, coworking space, and even video games
  • 401k plan
  • Remote friendly

Dead Man’s Party: A Knives Out Game blends our theatrical flair with party game chaos. The story is shaped by your instincts, your performances, and the strange little truths that emerge when you play pretend.

Where Cards Fall is a slice of life puzzle game where you build houses of cards to bring formative memories to life. Create pathways through dreamlike spatial puzzles to navigate the insecurities and emotions of high school and beyond.

Blaseball is an absurdist, player-driven, corruptible, online game of baseball. It’s a simplistic simulation of a sport, built in the void of real sports, where players can view, bet on, and contort the league.
