Denis, the solo developer behind the Kravtology studio name, had been working on his first CRPG, Crux Diaries, from as far back as March 2018.

The project has been in development for years, with beginnings going back to early prototypes made in the early 2000s. After years working in other industries, the developer returned to the project in 2019 with a more focused vision and skills in narrative design, game writing, and psychology.
