Questions
Film site, game company.
Where are the films?
CinemaMachina publishes on its own site, cinemamachina.com. This page is the CodexDeus introduction. The filmography, stills, and festival notes live there.
Is a game of the book the same project?
No. Turning a book or an idea into a game is Level One. Books are the specialty there. CinemaMachina is the film.
A game of the book
That project is Level One.
Level One turns books and ideas into indie games. Books are the specialty. CinemaMachina adapts books into short films.
