The original Trine came out in 2009. It was a fantasy-themed platformer that had players switching between three characters with different abilities: a thief, a night, and a wizard. 2011’s Trine 2 added multiplayer co-op.

Frozenbyte is based in Helsinki, Finland. Besides the Trine series, the developer also created the top-down shooter games Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds: Survivor.
