Our first 2 games were a failure, and the founder even had to sell his only apartment to pay the developers' salaries. He lived and worked with the team in a small office in Kharkiv, where everything started. And this is by the way his bed in those days 😄
In April 2019 we released our first successful game **Crypto Cats**. And then **Crypto Dragons** in September 2020. In 2021, the downloads grew by 25 times. Now we have 7 successful games and an audience of 3.6 million users worldwide. We are actively growing and moving towards our goals. Join our journey and become a part of Realis family.
