Meet Parampará
Parampará, derived from Sanskrit, means "disciplined succession." At its core, it focuses on the transmission of experience. Just like video games. We are a creative team from Amazon, Brazil, dedicated to developing indie games and creative content. We love crafting unique experiences with diverse gameplay styles.
\ In today’s context of war, inflation, and social isolation, Parampará aims to be a valuable tool for improving reality. We believe in fair games that enrich players’ lives—whether they are fun, immersive, or reflective. Our goal is to create remarkable games! Our business model centers around premium titles for PC, mobile, and console.
\ We’ve received several awards and recognitions, including Best Narrative at Game Jam Plus 2018, Best Game from Southeast Brazil at Game Jam Plus 2022, and The Big Indie Pitch 2022. We were also part of the official selection for Brazil Panorama at the BIG Festival 2023 and the only Brazilian game studio selected among ten startups worldwide for the Gaming Startup Retreat 2023, which included six weeks of mentoring in Madeira, Portugal.
How Parampará achieved product-market fit
The indie game market has seen significant growth over the past decade, with countless small and independent developers creating unique gaming experiences that appeal to a diverse range of gamers. Set apart by budgets that are small compared to the multi-billion dollar AAA game studios, indie developers have managed to carve out a niche for themselves by offering innovative and often unexpected games compared to AAA titles. According to a 2020 report by market research firm Newzoo, the global indie game market was valued at approximately $2 billion, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7% from 2020 to 2023.
\ Parampará creates remarkable games that embrace fair game trends. The indie gaming market is undergoing an exciting transformation, with a growing focus on “fair” games that fully recognize and respect the time of players seeking games that respect their time, money, and values. For many modern gamers, finding quality time to play is a challenge, with work and school responsibilities filling their schedules. “Fair” indie games embrace this reality and offer a complete and rewarding experience from the very first moment. They are designed to qualitatively respect the player’s time, providing immersive and meaningful fun without the need to invest endless hours. This approach is winning over a diverse audience of players who value high-quality experiences where every minute spent in-game is meaningful and rewarding. Fair indie games not only provide entertainment, but also allow players to maximize their leisure time, immersing themselves in exciting narratives and engaging challenges without the hassle.
