Flazm

Flazm Interactive Entertainment was founded in 2010 in Magnitogorsk, Russia, by Alexey Davydov, Sergey Dvoynikov, and Timofey Shargorodskiy. The main focus of the studio was developing web games. Flazm has created over 30 web games for Kizi and Kongregate which have been played over a billion times.^[1]

Flazm's first railroad game, called Railway Valley, was developed by Alexey Davydov in 2008, inspired by an older game called Shortline.^[2] Four years later, two sequels – Railway Valley 2^[3] and Railway Valley Missions^[4] – were released, and development started for Train Valley.^[5]

In 2014, Flazm moved their headquarters to Vilnius, Lithuania. On September 16, 2015, the studio released Train Valley on Steam.^[6][7] Relocating to Lithuania also allowed Flazm to work with Lithuanian developer Egis Bachur on Scrap Garden, which was released in 2016.

On December 23, 2016, Flazm announced that Train Valley 2 was in development.^[8][9] On March 29, 2018, Train Valley 2 entered early access,^[10] with the game releasing on April 13, 2019.^[11]

Daniel Waite at Movies Game and Tech wrote a review of Scrap Garden, "It’s a cute story full of interesting characters and humourous [sic] moments, but it’s old hat. I could have heard this story in any other game and I’d know what to expect. Even though I wasn’t captivated by the storyline, this doesn’t mean I disliked the gameplay."^[12]
