About Monster Theater Games: Founded in 2022, and having recently undergone a shift into development and publishing, Monster Theater is a beacon for the strange, esoteric, and the nostalgic. Gone are the days of draining 200-hour sagas, unsavory loot boxes, and a fractured trust between players and developers. Monster Theater's ethos is outsider art and games that are small, but powerful. Founded by Eldar Basic and Valentina Castro in 2022, we're a collection of game developers from all completely different backgrounds, with new and engaging ideas for how single-player games are presented, and are looking to make our mark in games with Atomic Owl and future titles.
