Description
DALOAR (before Pentakill Studios) is a Spanish team of 32 dedicated Gamedev professionals with deep roots in computer graphics. We are currently creating our debut horror videogame, “The Occultist”, which has already received over 30 awards and nominations, including the 2023 Devcom Blockbuster Award. We are extremely passionate about the horror genre and are crafting a truly unique first-person narrative horror game.
DALOAR was founded with the primary goal of developing The Occultist, a first-person narrative horror video game.
However, game development is not our sole focus. Our philosophy revolves around staying ahead of the curve to provide our clients with the most innovative outcomes possible.
We are an R&D company dedicated to researching and developing new tools and innovative processes aimed at enhancing efficiency in game development.
History
Our Story
DALOAR is the result of years of experience in computer graphics, architectural visualization, video game development, and 3D Animation movies.
We started in 2014 with the creation of iVisual School of New Technologies. Today, we have hundreds of students in both face-to-face and online modalities.
After that
All of this brings us to DALOAR. It has taken us over a year to get the necessary funding to start the studio. We are a team of professionals specialized in different areas, with both face-to-face and remote professionals.
We are very aware that we are in a very competitive market, which is why we have invested heavily in equipment and technology. All this allows us to apply a workflow very similar to that of large triple A video game studios.
The Occultist
The Occultist is a dark narrative-rich game in which you’ll step into Alan’s shoes, a gifted paranormal investigator where the veil between life and death is thrillingly thin.
Alan’s father mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind only echoes of the strange stories he told in Alan’s childhood. Tales of GodStone, a fictional island where he claimed to have grown up.
Compelled by suspicion, Alan sets course for this elusive place. Accompanying him is a family heirloom – a mystical pendulum, the unique artifact in this game, stirring intrigue and awakening ancient powers.
