thechineseroom make story driven first-person games. We currently have three titles in development. Dear Esther, the commercial remake of the award-winning, critically acclaimed mod will be released on PC via Steam in early 2012. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, an openworld game for PC and possibly PS3 starts development in January 2012, and gameB is a secret project due for development and release sometime in late 2012. thechineseroom is fundamentally driven by the idea that new game experiences can be explored and delivered through a partnership between commercial development and academic research and are committed to creating games that don’t compromise either.
