About Rogueside
Rogueside is a Belgian video game developer and publisher based in Geel, Flanders. Its work spans hand-drawn action games, cozy hidden-object puzzles and narrative adventures, with releases across PC, consoles and mobile devices. The studio combines development of its own games with publishing support for third-party indie developers.
Founded in 2010 as Crazy Monkey Studios, the company built its early portfolio around illustrated 2D games. Its mobster shooter Guns, Gore & Cannoli appeared in 2015, followed by Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 in 2018. Both were developed in collaboration with Claeysbrothers. The company adopted the name Rogueside in 2020, the year it released Hidden Through Time and marked its tenth anniversary.
Games and creative direction
The studio's portfolio brings together distinct approaches to 2D game design. Hidden Through Time pairs hand-drawn scenes with hidden-object puzzles and integrated level and map editors. The series continued with Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic in 2023 and Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery in 2024.
Its action portfolio includes Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef, released in 2022 under licence from Games Workshop. The prohibition-era noir visual novel Best Served Cold, released in 2025, extends its work into narrative mystery and adventure. Rogueside also co-developed Warparty with Warcave and served as its publisher.
Development and publishing
Rogueside's development capabilities cover game design, programming, 2D art and animation, sound design and level design. Its publishing services include digital distribution, console porting, marketing campaigns and platform certification. Supported platforms include Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, iOS and Android.
As of November 2026, the supplied portfolio also identifies Devil Jam and Last Night Last Call as projects in development.
