History

In 2019, some members of Whiteboard Games worked together on a time-travel puzzler called Tempus Vitae, a game that they presented at that year's Bit Bang Fest in Argentina. Once that was finished, they started working together on a new title. I See Red came to life at the beginning of 2020 as a university project for Da Vinci school's Design and Videogame Programming course.

Eventually, the game grew as a thesis project and, once the developers graduated, they decided to continue it further to a commercial enterprise, finally released on October 24th, 2022.

After I See Red, Whiteboard Games went back to its origin: they started developing a new Tempus Vitae, now reborn as an ambitious time travel metroidvania FPS.

On June 4th, 2026, during the Summer Games Fest's Latin American Games Showcase, Whiteboard Games publicly announced Tempus Vitae as its next release for 2027.
