About
Here & Beyond
We build video games and immersive experiences focused on African myths, stories and pop culture. We create video games that have local relevance but global reach.
Grey interactive was established in 2018 to craft interactive entertainment. We were officially incorporated in 2023
The dream of building a video game company started 7 years ago as a part time job with a one man team who had a vision of creating video games with local relevance to the African continent.​
The first video game developed was a 2D infinite runner titled "Inferno", it was an iOS game that was developed with the aim of learning video game development basics. The game was never published but was played as a snackable by our founder during breaks and whenever he got bored.
After learning the basics in 2D we decided that we would go 3D, we polished our skills through different online courses and hands on development experience with multiple shelved projects. We eventually honed enough skills to develop a polished and playable 3D game, a Virtual Reality Game titled Vibe Killers. We completed development in 2022 and opened it to the public as a pay to play game available only at our VR booths.
In 2023, we decided it was time to get officially incorporated. Immediately after incorporation, our team slightly grew and we gained considerable traction.
With the traction we gained in VR, we decided to start creating immersive experiences for brands during product activations. That's when we introduced a product called Grey iXperience where we create custom tailored short immersive experiences for brands.
​
In summer 2023, we made a firm decision to pivot our focus to mobile game development due to the level of scalability that we could achieve on mobile. We've been actively developing our latest flagship game titled Kiki which is to be released Summer 2024.
We’re based in
