We are Fool's Theory, a company from Bielsko-Biała in Poland, creators of the game Seven: The Days Long Gone and The Thaumaturge!

Right now, we're starting production on our own new project, something different from what Fool's Theory has done so far. It's an exciting opportunity to join us at the very start, help shape its direction, and have a real influence on what it will become.

Sounds interesting? Get in touch with us!
