The Chinese Room at a Glance

The Chinese Room is a British studio founded in 2012 based in Brighton. They have released ten games as a developer and published two others since starting. Their work spans from the 2010s to 2025, with four titles released in the first decade and six in the second. The company primarily focuses on Adventure games, which make up their entire portfolio of ten releases. They also touch on Indie, Role-playing, Puzzle, and Platform genres occasionally. Most of their work targets PC platforms, appearing on nine separate PC versions. They also support Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 with five versions each. Smaller numbers reach Mac, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Linux, iOS, and Android users. Their rating history shows consistency without major highs or lows. They have seven rated titles that all fall into the good range of 60 to 79 points on IGDB. No titles reached the great threshold of 80 or higher. Their lowest score remains above the mixed category floor. The highest rated game is Still Wakes the Deep from 2024, which holds a 77/100 score. This title also has an expansion called Siren's Rest released in June 2025 that scored slightly lower at 69.9. Their second best title is Everybody's Gone to the Rapture from 2015 with a 75.2 rating. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, coming out in October 2025, sits at 73.3. Dear Esther from their debut year in 2012 scored 72, while Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs in 2013 finished at 69.9. The studio joined the Sumo Digital family in 2018 and has since expanded their team and studio location. Their bio mentions a shift toward merging storytelling with new genres and ambitions after this acquisition. They have worked on projects like Little Orpheus for Apple Arcade and So Let Us Melt as a VR fairy tale. While they are known for first-person experiences, the data shows a steady output of adventure titles without breaking into blockbuster territory. Their ratings remain solid but do not reach critical acclaim levels by strict industry standards. The upcoming release of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 continues their pattern of high-concept narrative games across multiple modern platforms.
