## About welevel

The company focuses on creating entertainment software, particularly AAA sandbox survival and city-builder games. Their core product is SolidRiver, a co-op survival city-builder RPG that combines third-person survival gameplay with base building, crafting systems, and RPG progression across various biomes. The game is developed using Unreal Engine 5 and features the studio's proprietary AI platform, CLAI, which enables dynamic, procedural generation for a more immersive experience.
