CBE Software is an indie video game developer based in the Czech Republic. It was founded in 2006 as Cardboard Box Entertainment (CBE). The first released title was an adventure game titled Ghost in the Sheet. The studio was then inactive for a few years and its members worked on titles such as Dark Fall II: Lights Out, Barrow Hill and Tale of a Hero.{{Cite web|url=http://www.databaze-her.cz/vyvojari/cardboard-box-entertainment/|title = Cardboard Box Entertainment – Databáze-her.cz}}

In 2011, the studio was renamed to CBE Software. A year later, it released two games – J.U.L.I.A. and J.U.L.I.A. Untold. These games were exclusively published by Lace Mamba Global who didn't pay them and the publishing agreement was cancelled. The studio came to financial troubles and so released another game titled Vampires!{{Cite web|url=http://indiegames.com/2012/11/cbes_jan_kavan_on_vampires_jul.html|title = CBE's Jan Kavan on Vampires!, J.U.L.I.A., Zombies and Being Indie|date = 14 November 2012}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.adventuregamers.com/articles/view/24318/page2|title = Jan Kavan - J.U.L.I.A.
