Fool's Theory

Video Games & Interactive Entertainment

We proudly present our first game! Seven: The Days Long Gone (www.seven-game.com) We are a company of AAA veterans who decided to take a break from huge productions and find refuge in the mountains of southern Poland. In the past we've contributed our skills and lives to critical and commercial successes of games such as: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Ancient Space Hard West Kholat and many more smaller indie titles. During the production of those games we always had an idea of how a development process should look like so we decided to start our own company. This is how Fool's Theory has come to life!

Job description

About us

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