We are a small independent game developer located in Warsaw, Poland. Before The Astronauts, some of us worked on games like Painkiller and Bulletstorm.

Our latest project is Witchfire, a dark fantasy first person shooter set in an alternative world in which witches are real and very dangerous – but so are you, witchhunter.

Our first game was a weird fiction mystery titled The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. The game has won many awards, including BAFTA, and we sold over one million copies. It’s available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Click here for more details.

Astrolife #6: We risk life and pants to make a game

(This is an archived old post from the previous version of the page.)

In this episode of Astrolife, aka The Life at The Astronauts: we took one more trip to the Karkonosze mountains to capture additional reference material for The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Here’s a few random photos. And by random we mean the carefully selected the ones we could show. Life and pants were at stake!

Click on any photo to see its bigger version.

*Pretty, isn’t it? But **how** was that picture taken?…*

*That’s how! Apparently, there is a thin line between passionate and **insane**.*

*Locals were suspicious of our shady activities. This man was so shocked, he could not stand straight. Or **maybe** he was drunk as hell, we could not tell.*

**Hello**, is this forest?

*Slippery surface of that rock was **no match** for Andrew’s balancing skills.*

Nothing? **Really?!**

*Adam **ripped his pants** looking for a good photo opportunity in this area. You know where to look.*

*Very mature, Andrew. Very mature.*

*Adam, the Lion King of the Forest, grabbing another **texture material**.*

*Nothing to joke about here. Just Andrew taking a really **sweet picture** of the mountains.*
