Highbrow Interactive Private Limited

In their own words

Highbrow Interactive was founded in the year 2012. After trying our hands on a few parking games which were all the rage back then, we studied the market to identify a sub-genre that was under-served. That’s when we discovered the dearth of quality train simulation games. Coming from a country like India which has practically the fourth largest railroad network in the world, all of us who grew up in the 90s shared a deep personal connection to trains. Curiously, our first train simulation title was not based in India. We chose the European market after some research and that is how Euro Train Simulator was created. With well over 20 million downloads, it remains to date our biggest game. To this day, it continues to garner big Daily Active Users and excellent reviews from users who swear they have never played a better train simulator in their life. We set out to make the best train simulators on the market and we managed to surpass our expectations. In 2016, we started work on our new train simulator project which would go on to be Indian Train Simulator. We quickly understood that Euro Train Simulator was not scalable and we had to rethink our approach to the game. We began work on a track change, realistic mass-based physics and path finding technology which remains peerless to this day and forms the backbone on which our entire lineup has been built. After Indian Train Simulator become a massive success with an enviable fan following of hardcore rail fans, we set our eyes back on Europe and released the upgraded, much more sophisticated sequel. This time, we did things right by partnering with Deutsche Bahn, the German national railroad operators for licensing their brand. Last year, we also released Bus Simulator for India, it was well received and already has around 1.5 million downloads. We are still making the game better with every update and also planning a Truck Simulator series. 2019 was also a very special year for us because we were selected for IGA 2019(Google Workshop) India. This gave us a whole new perspective on how we look at games production as a business. The plan for the year 2020 is mostly based on the feedback we got from IGA 2019 India and we are trying to make better versions of our existing games to improve retention, reduce churn rate and also monetize better.
