Federico Corbetta Caci
Head of Narrative & RPGThe only things he loves more than his horses are red wine and sludge metal. By contract, he has to yell “character arc!” at least twice a day. Thinks life is a roguelike, but no one really cares.

Carola Corti
Project ManagerSocially slow, usually dressed like Waldo. By day she loves tennis, comics and roguelike games (not necessarily in this order). Turns her brain off at 11 pm. She asked for a period of adjustment before being able to formulate a better bio than this.
Andrea Lugli
Project ManagerBeer, board game and football are his perfect cocktail mix. If it is added a pinch of adventure and a life in nature to him, he will forever be a happy man.
Renato "Renè" Sasdelli

Ylenia D'Abundo

Noa Vassalli

Nicolò Sala
Graphic DesignerHe presents himself as a promising young tennis champion, but he spends most of his free time trying to play anything that looks like an instrument. He loves modular systems of any kind and connecting things together.
Davide Amici
