- Over a Decade in the Making: This artisanal game is the sole creation of Tapio from Uncultured Games, a Finnish game development studio. He has managed the coding, game engine, art, script, soundtrack, and even crafted this god-forsaken press release. Over the course of well over 12 years of development, Tapio, a father of two and a marketing professional by day, has remained a dedicated hobbyist game developer by night.
