🚧 Next Peaks — Other Projects in Development

Each project explores culture, interactive storytelling, and play.

🏔️ Matterhorn Domain (UE5 Experience)

An interactive recreation of the Matterhorn massif, built in Unreal Engine 5 — not within Fortnite, but as a standalone artistic and educational project.
This experience invites players to discover the history, geology, and legends of the mountain through exploration and immersion.

Planned for distribution through custom-built arcade machines in airports and travel hubs, and as interactive museum installations, it combines nostalgic design with cutting-edge technology — bridging heritage and innovation.

🏰 Twin Castles Adventure (Kids’ Platform Game)

A family-friendly platformer inspired by the two castles near our hometown in Valais.
Playful and full of charm, this project stars Fallgu-style characters, inviting younger players to explore friendship, discovery, and teamwork in a colorful, story-driven world.

Designed as both a fun game and an educational experience, it encourages curiosity about local history and heritage through play.

🚗 Grand Saint Bernard Tunnel – Rocket Racing Track

A high-speed Rocket Racing track inspired by the Grand Saint Bernard Tunnel, which connects Switzerland and Italy — celebrating its 60th anniversary last year (1964–2024).

Developed within the Fortnite ecosystem, this arcade-style racing experience blends pure fun with storytelling and cultural memory.
 Using a rich archive of historical photographs and documentation from the tunnel’s construction, the project transforms a real piece of engineering history into an interactive race that celebrates human effort, technology, and cross-border connection.

Players don’t just race — they experience the story of the tunnel: its creation, its significance, and the people who made it possible

🌱 More to Come

Each new project is an experiment — in technology, storytelling, and collaboration.
Through these experiences, Vertical Game continues to explore how games can become cultural bridges, connecting players not only to stories, but also to the places and people behind them.

🤝 Creator Partnership

While we climb our own creative mountains, we’re equally passionate about helping others reach theirs.

Alongside developing, producing, and publishing our own games, we share our experience to empower creators to build their own worlds.
We offer private, group, and online classes, supporting both new and experienced creators who have powerful ideas and stories to tell — but need a bit of guidance, whether technical, creative, or financial, to bring them to life.

Our mission is to act as both a technical producer and a funding partner, helping creators transform strong ideas into playable, publishable, and meaningful interactive experiences.

Whether you’re a beginner learning the tools of creation or an artist seeking production support, Vertical Game provides guidance, structure, and collaboration opportunities to turn your vision into reality.

🌟 Join the Community

We’d love to meet you! Come hang out at our next creator meetup — a casual space to share ideas, connect with fellow developers, and get a peek behind the scenes of what we’re building.

You can also join our Discord to stay connected, swap feedback, and take part in shaping our games. We’re always looking for passionate beta testers and creative minds to help us make every project better.

Let’s build, play, and grow together. 💪🎮

Initiative Narration Industrielle

In parallel, Vertical Game is developing a long-term initiative to engage with the Swiss industrial and craft community.
We seek partners who are open to sharing their know-how, processes, and stories — to co-create interactive experiences that celebrate the excellence and authenticity of Swiss industry.

Through playful and meaningful gaming experiences, we aim to inspire future generations while communicating, locally and globally, the richness of Switzerland’s industrial and artisanal heritage.

If this vision resonates with you, we’d love to collaborate — to explore how storytelling and technology can work together to celebrate what Switzerland builds best.
