About

The two thought long and hard about the quote and realized it was futile to simply treat the symptoms of the world. Instead, they wanted to solve the root problems of society and see the world change for the better. How? Through story...

They realized stories were a fundamental part of the human experience. They have been told since the beginning of humanity. Humans have used them to communicate their feelings, to teach valuable lessons, to inspire “the next generation”...

People say “the pen is mightier than the sword,” and they would be correct. While a sword in the hands of solider may solve one or two problems, a story that shapes the heart of a generation may rid the globe of thousands.

The two decided they wanted to be in the business of making stories... but how to do so was another question entirely.

Of course, there were brilliant books, movies, and plays that made a difference, but the two wanted to do something different; something that would take the world by surprise...

The solution... software.

According to the Wall Street Journal, it’s eating the world…

But they knew that software on its own wouldn’t cut it. It is true that software changed the world many times through technological innovation, but whether that change was good is still debate-able to this day.

So they thought longer and harder about the type of software to produce.

What about video games...

Games have existed since the first humans got bored and wanted something fun to do. And in combination with software, video games now not only entertain billions of people but allow players to explore new worlds and live out their wildest dreams.

Video games, however, have a history... senseless violence, gratuitous sexual content, inappropriate themes...

But what if they were used for story - not some half-baked story that simply seeks to drive the player from one level to another; rather a beautiful story that positively influences a player’s decisions both in the game world and the real world.

What if that story was fun? What if that story was powerful? What if that story could be experienced by every person?

As a result of the realization that video games could be one of the most powerful tools for positive influence, they formed a diverse team of talented individuals: skilled programmers, creative artists, brilliant composers, inspired story-tellers. These individuals joined not because of simply money or experience; they joined because they believed in the vision: to tell the amazing stories of this generation for the generations to come.

At this point, you may be thinking all this sounds a bit overtly optimistic, and in the words of Phineas Flynn from the TV show Phineas and Ferb, “yes... yes it is...”

After the 2 high schoolers graduated, due to the upcoming college semester and the small probability of success, one of the original high schoolers left the team, but the other remained true to the vision of the team.

The remaining founder then proceeded to make an app of his favorite childhood game, Mafia, and named it Mafia Rising, in order to get more search results.
It released on July 1st, 2018...

While the remaining founder was at college, he met a bright student who had developed a proof of concept for a game. The game was a puzzle game with unique gameplay mechanics inspired by games such as The Witness, The Legend of Zelda, and One Shot. After some discussion with the student, the founder and student combined forces to continue the student’s work and produce the puzzle adventure game announced as Lexicon.
