Cyanide

Cyanide Studio, a name whispered with reverence (and maybe a touch of goblin-like glee) in certain corners of the gaming world, is a French video game developer known for its diverse and, at times, endearingly quirky portfolio. They aren't afraid to tackle niche genres, carving out a space for themselves with titles that often prioritize deep gameplay mechanics and strategic depth over mass-market appeal. Think of them as the indie darling that punches above its weight, appealing to the core gamer audience.

One facet of Cyanide's identity is their fascination with adaptation. They've delved into established universes, most notably with 'Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood,' bringing the dark and gritty World of Darkness setting to life (with all the visceral werewolf action one could hope for). But Cyanide doesn't shy away from creating original IPs either, as seen in 'Styx: Master of Shadows,' a stealth game praised for its challenging gameplay and darkly humorous tone. Their experience and ability to work on existing IPs makes them a very experienced studio in video game development and gives them experience in working with different teams.

However, Cyanide's identity is perhaps most strongly tied to their sports management and simulation titles. Year after year, they deliver the official 'Tour de France' game, offering cycling enthusiasts a chance to manage their favorite teams and compete in the iconic race. These titles, while not always graphically groundbreaking, are known for their deep simulation aspects and tactical complexity, attracting a dedicated following of sports fans seeking a very realistic experience. The studio is experienced in many different genres of games, and can deliver products on demand for a dedicated user base.
