ABOUT
Mode 7 was founded in 2005 by Ian Hardingham and Paul Kilduff-Taylor. Our debut title Determinance was released a year later.
This led to a period working for high-profile clients such as ITV and the BBC on realtime broadcast graphics.
In 2011, we released Frozen Synapse to widespread acclaim. It received the IGF Audience Award, PC Gamer Strategy Game of the Year and the Develop Best New IP Award.
In 2017, Mode 7 became a publisher. We've released titles such as The Colonists and Fights in Tight Spaces.
We focus on games with heart, depth and a unique sense of style.
