The story

Wizarbox had been porting video games by other companies to consoles since 2002's Arx Fatalis. In 2007, they released their first in-house developed video game, So Blonde, written and designed by industry veteran Steve Ince. The success of So Blonde led to the development of So Blonde: Back to the Island, an alternate reality scenario set during the events of the original game, and the spin-off Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle. After the troubled development of Gray Matter by Jane Jensen, they took over development of the title and released it in 2010.
