Mad About Pandas is an award-winning German independent video game developer founded in 2005 by Patrick Rau and based in Berlin. The studio focuses on producing narrative games such as the mystery adventure title “Hitchhiker”, while also working on commissioned projects for clients such as Goethe Institute, Bundesagentur für Arbeit, and Disney. For many years, the studio was focused mostly on the production of games based on mobile devices (iOS, Android, Nintendo DS and Switch), which resulted in titles such as Ubisoft’s “Galaxy Racers”, “The Great Jitters: Pudding Panic”, “Forever Forest”, “Truck Simulation 16” and “Laika”. The production of “Hitchhiker”, however, marked a turning point towards a focus on high-quality narrative games for PC and console that contain a signature atmosphere of playfulness and surrealism.
