About Seventh Disorder

Our Story

Seventh Disorder started when we (Dan, Jared and Tim) held an impromptu meeting in a downtown Beijing bar to plan the world of Mithra in late 2023.

During evenings and weekends, we built the first demo version of Mithra with help from long term collaborator (and general audio wizard) Bronson to build a demo to share during June 2024's Steam Next Fest.

We were delighted with the response from the event and decided to press ahead with creating a full version of the game. Our team grew a little bit larger as we welcomed Kater into the fold, she has been supporting Mithra with art and animation as we work towards the full release.

Our studio aims to tell an engaging story with a distinctive style, we're committed to creating experiences that are not only entertaining but also thoughtful and immersive.

Together, we as Seventh Disorder remain innovative and unique in our approach while keeping our core intention as simple as possible:

"Make things that are weird and cool."

About Mithra

What if the world’s first cult never actually vanished?

Mithra is a 2D hand-drawn narrative mystery about the world’s first cult.

Investigate forgotten gods, urban labyrinths and conspiratorial puzzles collide in a modern myth you live through.

Players will explore richly textured, hand-crafted environments and uncover the hidden influence of Mithraism across continents and centuries, from London’s alleyways &  Beijing’s hutongs to Rome’s underground sanctuaries.

With a haunting original score, reactive soundscapes, and a structure inspired by the tension of immersive ARGs and slow-burn twisty cinema, Mithra invites players to decode a modern myth stitched together with historical fiction, character-driven mystery, and interactive depth.
