The Pixel Hunt

Description of the company

{"ops":[{"insert":"The Pixel Hunt is a video game development studio based in Paris, specializing in creating \"games of the real.\" Founded by Florent Maurin, a former journalist, the studio is committed to exploring social and political themes through immersive interactive experiences.\n\nOur first independent game, \"Bury me, my Love,\" is a mobile interactive fiction that tells the story of Nour, a Syrian woman trying to reach Europe, and her husband Majd, who stays behind to support her from afar. This game has been selected, nominated, or awarded at over 20 events or awards, including The Game Awards, GDC Awards, and BAFTA Game Awards.\n\nIn 2022, we co-produced \"Inua – A Story in Ice and Time\" with IKO and ARTE France. This mystical point-and-click adventure game is set in the Canadian Arctic and explores intertwined destinies across several decades. It was awarded Apple's \"Cultural Impact\" prize and Google Play's \"Best Story\" award.\n\nOur latest project, \"The Wreck,\" is a mature 3D visual novel that tackles themes such as sisterhood, motherhood, grief, and survival. Players follow Junon, a struggling screenwriter, on the most crucial day of her life, reliving the past, altering the present, and embracing the future.\n\nAt The Pixel Hunt, we believe in the power of video games to tell meaningful stories and provoke deep reflection. We strive to create games that are not only entertaining but also offer a perspective on the real world, encouraging players to think about contemporary issues through engaging interactive narratives.\n"}]}
