History

Garusoft LLC was founded on February 19, 2004 as Garusoft Development Inc., developing free Flash and Java game applications for NTT Docomo, au and (formerly) vodafone cellphones.

The company began to focus on escape room games with the release of their cellphone game The Escape in 2005. Development and publication of their games moved to smartphones in 2011, with some cellphone games receiving Android and iOS ports.

The company rebranded from Garusoft Development Inc. to Garusoft LLC in June 2023.

Game Master

Game Master (ゲームの匠) was an au/NTT Docomo membership service created by Garusoft LLC on November 18, 2004. Originating from the EZweb platform, it aimed to provide customers high-quality games at low prices, with additional i-αppli and Flash applications; it rebranded as Master of Escape & Games (脱出＆ゲームの匠) in December 2006, with the company's escape games being new additions to the lineup.

The service was discontinued at the end of November 2019.
