What is Cipher Thread Games?

Cipher Thread Games is a Massachusetts-based venture seeking to make video games with an emphasis on storytelling. Our story starts in our final year at UMass Amherst with a game concept, one that we knew in our hearts had to be made. Since then, we have worked tirelessly, planning, writing, drawing, and coding to make our dream a reality. In that time, we have recruited others to the project with a revenue share model, assembling a great team of aritsts, coders, writers, and designers. We're in this for the long haul.

Codename: Ravine

The continent you inhabit is simultaneously so young yet so old, and legends swirl about its past and the people who inhabited it. But that doesn't matter, you're a freeelancer who is just working to make their living. Will you be content to be?

Codename: Ravine is our current project, a tactical SRPG set in the Early Modern Period. It has in-depth turn-based gameplay in a world where spears and swords still reign on the battlefield, but guns are just beginning to work their way in. Navigate maps, manage your party, and try to survive in the unforgiving landscape of a continent that holds many ancient secrets.
