It was founded in 2009 by Amir Rao and Gavin Simon, and is known for the games Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and Hades.

[11] The game features a female protagonist, Red, in a cyberpunk-like city, who has acquired a powerful weapon that she is nearly killed for possessing.

[15] In a break from their previous games, Pyre does not use an isometric viewpoint; the player's party travels across a 2D overworld, and combat takes place in a separate arena.

[16] Pyre was again regarded fondly by critics and was named Game Informer's best indie RPG for that year.

Like the original Hades, it is a roguelite game based on Greek mythology and it is currently being developed in early access.
