Developer

thechineseroom is an independent game studio based in Brighton and Portsmouth, UK. Based around the research and writing of Dan Pinchbeck, we've spent the last three years experimenting with first-person gaming. In 2008, we released the award-winning, critically acclaimed Dear Esther. This is currently available as a Source mod. Dear Esther is currently being redeveloped by Robert Briscoe which is due for an Indie release in late 2010.
