(Original Absurdus headquarters)

Absurdus was founded in 1865 in Montreal and soon became the leader in wooden watchdogs manufacturing. Very life-like, the Absurdus watchdogs would intimidate malevolent robbers without the intensive daily care required by their living counterparts.

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.
