about chillyroom

ChillyRoom is based in Shenzhen, China.

We are a team of talented, creative indie developers. Known for our roguelike dungeon crawlers such as Soul Knight and Otherworld Legends, we are continuously developing games in different genres with a single purpose – to bring fun and joy.

ChillyRoom is a pet-friendly workplace with 4 cat co-workers and 1 woof buddy. We believe their presence provides our team with vital emotional support and foster stronger connections among colleagues.

Continuously build interesting games. Discover and support more creative talents from the Chinese game industry.

A team of high school students and college freshmen are working on a game named “Touch & Stick” during the GameJam event hosted in ChillyRoom’s office.

ChillyRoom has been one of the organizers of Global GameJam (Shenzhen Site) since 2021. Many of our developers have been active jammers for years.

We don’t set limits on what specific types of games to be developed. All our projects originate from ideas of individual developers who prototype their games with their own efforts, and then lead a small team to continue the development for release.

Since 2015, we’ve seen this process producing amazing results. We have around 20 projects in development that cover mobile, PC and console games across various genres.

As different teams work on diverse projects in their unique ways, we believe in the power of knowledge exchange. Every other week, we come together for a showcase where each team presents the progress of their projects.
