Mimesis Studios was founded as a result of the closure of Holy Fire Games Studios (games focus, as it was then).

Mimesis Studios was founded by Benjamin Barton (former CTO of Holy Fire Games Studio), Pavel Tomasik (former Lead Designer of Holy Fire Games Studio) and Peter Rennie (former Artist of Holy Fire Games Studio). Since the re-estalishment of Holy Fire Games Studio's games focus, we have since worked with them to deliver a number of their apps.
