Who We Are
We want to revolutionise gaming with Human crafted worlds powered by AI, for incredible experiences with friends or immersive solo adventures.
We’re seeking a talented and experienced Founding Frontend Developer to join our team and help shape the technical direction of our product and the future of Infinity Fiction, the world of AI and potentially the future of the games industry.
Our first game Tidefall: The world's first D&D inspired Living World RPG. Crafted by humans. Brought to life with AI.
Tidefall is a large scale text based dark fantasy RPG where the world lives and reacts to your every decision from swearing loyalty to a tyrant, raising a rebel army or starting your own cult to not paying your bar tab. Played both solo and up to 4 player co-op.
Built on D&D’s open ruleset and powered by our AI engine, Tidefall is a new narrative experience where you choose what and how you interact with the world, creating unique adventures, discovering new spells and weapons, engaging with thousands of different NPCs making new allies or enemies.
