The studio
We make the games
we grew up wanting
Infinite Evil Studios is an independent game studio in Toronto, Canada. We make story-driven superhero games with real stealth, comic book worlds and heroes who win by thinking.
Why we exist
The games we missed
We started Infinite Evil because we missed a certain kind of game: the slow, tense stealth of the 2000s, and superhero games that made you feel clever instead of just strong. Nobody was putting the two together, so we did.
Our games share one universe, built from the ground up and wholly our own. Sage, Krad City and Phantom Division, the black-ops superhero team she works for, all belong to a wider world of heroes and villains we’ve already written, and plan to spend years exploring.
We’re a small, senior-led team that grows people as fast as it grows the game. Graduates and early-career developers ship real features alongside our leads, and every discipline has a voice in design.
What we value
Our values
Four values, written down early and used often. They decide what goes in the game, who joins the team and how we work together.
Player first
Every feature has to earn its place with the player.
We design from the player’s side of the screen. In Sage, a mechanic stays only if it makes you feel sneakier, more psychic or more like a spy. If it doesn’t, we cut it, no matter how long it took to build.
Growth mindset
Play it early, listen hard, get better.
We put builds in front of players long before they’re pretty, and we treat what we hear as the most useful thing we’ll get all week. The same goes for people: early-career developers ship real features here, alongside leads who mentor them.
T-shaped specialists
Deep in one craft. Fluent in the rest.
Our programmers sit in design reviews and our artists sit in playtests. Everyone goes deep in their own discipline and knows enough of everyone else’s to make the whole game better, which is how a small team builds something that feels bigger.
People over product
Good games come from teams that look after each other.
The game matters, but the people making it matter more. Everyone who contributes is credited, and our contributor agreements put that in writing. We build teams where people from every background do their best work, and we look after them.
How we make games
Built to punch above our size
We work in Unreal Engine 5 with tools usually reserved for much bigger teams: professional motion capture stages, recording booths for full voice-over, and a college partnership that brings artists, programmers and researchers onto the team, mentored by our leads.
- 01 / Design
Systems before set pieces
Our stealth is built on systems that react. Guards perceive, investigate and call each other in, so every room becomes a puzzle you can solve more than one way. Levels are open and non-linear, and no route is ever locked behind a single ability.
- 02 / Performance
Captured, not just keyframed
We direct motion capture and voice sessions with our animators, actors and audio team. Our first project shipped with 26 pages of recorded, directed dialogue. Performance is how a comic book world starts to feel alive.
- 03 / Look
A style we built ourselves
Inked outlines, cross hatching and flat painted colour, rendered by a cel-shading pipeline we built in Unreal Engine 5. Light is part of the design: it’s both the danger and the guide.
- 04 / Production
Playable, every milestone
Every milestone ends in something you can pick up and play. We plan in sprints, track every asset, and test the build constantly, which is how our first team went from an empty project to an 18-minute playable game in four months.
