History
In 2022, Eileen Hollinger and Josh Taylor formally launched the Astral Fund, a non-profit initiative dedicated to supporting the development of "thinking games", "cognitively challenging games whose systems and mechanics spark curiosity and require problem solving". The fund offered support in the form of project financing and self-publishing assistance. Simultaneously, the organization introduced the first round of supported titles.[1][2][3] In December 2023, Astra Fund laid off an unknown amount of employees.[4]
In January 2024, Astra Logical was formally introduced as "evolution" of Astra Fund. Operating now as a for-profit publisher based in Torrance, California, Astra Logical retained the original focus on "thinking games".[5][4][6] Prior to its formal announcement, the company had already published Snakebird Complete in 2023.[7]
