Established in the Kindergarten
Wunderfax was founded in Berlin in summer 2022 by Nick Maierhöfer and Marius Winter, who met in a Kindergarten in Unterfranken.
In their childhood, they started making their first games in tools like Klik&Play.
Today they make games that exude their childlike humor and wonder, and tell wholsome stories that deal with topics such as mental health and finding comfort in our loud world.
Our first project
Since Summer 2022 we are working on a slapstick stealth game that is a love letter to 90's horror games. Haunted by the ghost of their father, a Master Thief, can the clumsy Melone siblings steal their way to laying their father's soul to rest?
Production of this unannounced game began in late 2023.
Before Wunderfax
Melone in the Dark
The first game we made was a funny homage to the 1992 released Alone in the Dark.
Say No! More
At Studio Fizbin, we wrote and led the development of the 2021 critically acclaimed Say No! More as Game & Art Directors.

Being a generalist, he likes tinkering around in many fields.
Marius

Nico

He's the lead programmer at Wunderfax, which means he's cursing a lot. But in a good way.

As the environment artist at Wunderfax, she is constantly working in the levels and blocking the file for everyone else.
Benedikt
(he/him)After his time as Unity lead programmer at DigiTales came to an end, Benedikt woke up one day only to realize he was now an Unreal developer at Wunderfax. Kafkaesque? Maybe. But fun?
Definitely! He has been enjoying his endeavour in the world of Unreal since.
