The Alekon Company, Alekon. In 2016, Kevin Notar started Alekon in his spare time, before Daniel Kraft joined soon after. Max Shawabkeh joined the team in 2019, completing the team.

What is Alekon?

Alekon is a magical journey through your imagination as you photograph creatures. These creatures are known as Fictions. They will strike collectable poses, so you must make sure the photo ranks high enough in the 4 categories; Size, Center, Angle, and Visibility.

Once photographed, Fictions will join you on Dream’s Doorstep. Here you can befriend them by helping out with mini-games and dialogue quests. You can paint auroras, tune/play musical instruments, compose ghost stories, stump Fictions lost in existential musings, and a whole lot more.

The game is made easier by using tools such as donut treats, magnets, and throwable fireflies to solve puzzles and get Fictions to strike picturesque poses. You can also use creative toys like editing photos and design snowflakes. You can check out a summary of the features below:
