History
Red Thread was founded in September 2012 by Ragnar Tørnquist, creator of The Longest Journey and Dreamfall sagas, and the The Secret World and Anarchy Online universes.
On 1 November 2012, Tørnquist announced that the long awaited sequel to Dreamfall was on its way from his new development studio after obtaining 1,000,000 NOK in development grants from the Norwegian Film Institute for the pre production of Dreamfall Chapters.
On 8 February 2013, a Kickstarter campaign was launched for Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey which closed at USD$1,538,425, almost doubling their goal of $850,000.
On 29 May 2013, Red Thread Games was granted an additional 1,500,000 NOK (~$250,000) from the Norwegian Film Institute.
On 30 October 2013, RTG announced that they had begun working on a new game titled Draugen, a first-person survival horror set in the 1920s Norway. The development has been funded by the Norwegian Film Institute with a grant of 850,000 NOK (approx. $144,000).
