In 2002, the administration board decides to redirect the company
towards a more promising sector: the video game industry. By
focusing on the industry’s most popular genre, the humoristic
adventure game, Absurdus becomes one of the world’s most important
independent game developers. With the shattering success of its
first game,
Eye of the Kraken, the company
is able to move its premises in a broom closet in Downtown Montreal
Ville-Marie building’s eleventh floor (see picture). At this stage,
even the most conservative projections envision the purchase for the
current year of both the third and eighteenth’s floors’ closets.
