Our first release

Iara: River of Lanterns

Guide a lantern up five real rivers of the Amazon and bring it home to Iara, the keeper of the waters in Brazilian folklore.

One tap pushes the lantern. Frogs, caimans, jaguars and the pink river dolphin are each on the river where they really live, and every river tells you something true about it. In Zen the river is dark, nothing strikes, and your light wakes what lives there.

What we do

We make apps and games, each built around one clear idea. New titles are in development.

How we work

We research before we build and test before we release. In Iara, every animal, plant and fact was verified against a source before it went in.

Privacy

Our products carry no advertising and no tracking, and need no account. Iara 1.0 sends nothing from your phone.
