Kris's inspiration to create Requiem came back in 2014 while reflecting on tough times in his life when he desired a place where he could feel comfortable and escape the troubles of life. Since nowhere existed like that, he decided to make one himself, so everyone who desires the ultimate escape can have it. Kris's goal was to make Requiem like stepping into another world. Thankfully, others recognized the value of this vision and came together to make it a reality: A fantastic, magical world where people enjoy their hobbies, make friends, find peace, and enjoy a cozy atmosphere with delicious food and drink.
