ABOUT US Aftnareld is founded by Narin & Valle, we’re a gaming couple that started chasing our gamedev ambitions back in 2018. Since starting out as just a past-time hobby, we have both dedicated many years to learn game development on our own, with Coridden as the core project through all this time. Along the way, we’ve had the fortune to meet several passionate people that have helped and joined us on the journey to release Coridden. We knew from the start that we wanted to make games with co-op and depth. We believe that co-op games are not only fun, but are also important for bringing people together. As we continue our gamedev journey, we are dedicated to keeping an open mind, listening to feedback from the community and keep improving our craft!
