Distant Reality Studios is a video game company located in Toronto, ON, Canada. We are a small group of talented individuals who are dedicated in the making of Jungle of Poems­—a rhythm-runner game set in post-war 1971 Bangladesh. Creating our very first game was no easy feat, and we are especially grateful for all of the guidance and professional direction we have received towards making this game a reality.
