Founded in 2012

The Chinese Room is an award-winning game development studio based in Brighton. Since 2012 we’ve built a reputation for innovative first-person gaming. Our titles include the ground-breaking Dear Esther; the cult horror Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs; the internationally acclaimed Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture; the VR fairy tale So Let Us Melt and, most recently, the technicolour comedy-adventure Little Orpheus for Apple Arcade. Since joining the Sumo Digital family in 2018, we’ve been hard at work building on our reputation for creative excellence in game development. We’ve got a brand new studio home, a growing team and are busy with projects that merge TCR storytelling with new directions, new genres and new ambitions.
