Company profile
researched Aug 2026Spectarium is a remote-first game development company building cross-platform action role-playing games. Its flagship title, Myths, is a dungeon-crawling action RPG inspired by ancient mythology, in which characters, equipment and portals absorb the properties of defeated bosses, adding a strategy layer to combat; the first players to find and defeat legendary new bosses can own and upgrade them and make them available to the wider player community.
The studio's stated central design concept is a game engine that tailors gameplay activities and its proprietary mythological-theme IP to the preferences of each individual player, so that one player's sessions may centre on boss battles set in Valhalla while another's move through a Mayan temple. The company compares this matching approach to a recommendation algorithm and positions AI as the narrative backbone that dynamically adapts storylines to player choices and evolving game maps. Myths was scheduled to soft launch to specific targeted audiences in 2024.
Founding story
Spectarium was founded in Oulu, Finland, in 2019 by Romain Schneider, Mark Peterson, and Plarium co-founders Avi and Gabi Shalel. According to CEO Romain Schneider, the core team came together roughly eight years before the 2023 funding announcement with a mission to build a game envisioned by its community, and the studio subsequently shifted toward cross-platform, mass-market titles while retaining a community-centric orientation.
Business model
Spectarium develops and intends to publish its own cross-platform action RPG titles, beginning with Myths, targeting mass-market players across platforms.
Traction
As of the September 2023 funding announcement, the company reported a 97% retention rate for employees with a year or more of tenure and had deployed a "Feel Good Officer" and a Feel Good KPI system. Its first title, Myths, was in development with a targeted 2024 soft launch.
Latest developments
On 20 September 2023 Spectarium announced a €5 million seed round led by BITKRAFT Ventures with Delphi Digital and Framework Ventures participating, to scale the team and develop Myths toward a 2024 soft launch.

Market position
Spectarium positions itself in the cross-platform action RPG segment, combining established ARPG systems with AI-driven content generation and public-domain ancient mythology IP. Its lead investor described AI content generation as a shift in studio economics.
Personalisation of both gameplay activities and thematic IP per player via the studio's engine, a boss-absorption mechanic in which characters, equipment and portals take on properties of defeated bosses, and player ownership of newly discovered legendary bosses that can then be shared with the community.
Technology
The company's approach centres on a proprietary game engine that combines authored visuals with generated content, aligning gameplay activities and mythological IP themes with individual player preferences. AI is used as a narrative layer that adapts storylines in response to player choices and changing game maps, with the aim of producing personalised and continuously varied gameplay.
