Overview

Beautiful Glitch is an independent video game development studio based in Barcelona, Spain. The studio describes itself as having its "real HQ" on the internet, reflecting a distributed, globally sourced team model. Its founding date is listed as "Year 20XX" on its official press page, indicating that the exact year has not been publicly fixed in that source.

The studio's released projects include Mazeman and Monster Prom. Monster Prom is the title most closely associated with the studio and has driven much of its public recognition. Beautiful Glitch positions itself as a creator of fine indie games without geographical limitation, seeking talent globally to complete projects.
