The game was developed by Sketchy Logic, and part financed through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, raising £18,917 towards its development in January 2015.

The game makes use of public domain works, the character artwork is taken from the caricatures by J. J. Grandville, and its soundtrack includes the music of Camille Saint-Saëns.
