The Company Studio is an independent game development studio founded by Rodrigo Salvay in 2023. The studio specializes in creating narrative-driven tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) that delve into unconventional horror and strange, unsettling stories. Known for its innovative approach to storytelling, The Company Studio builds rich, immersive worlds that challenge players' perceptions while embracing sensory contradictions and emotional complexity.[1]

Philosophy and Style

edit

The Company Studio operates with a unique dual focus, developing games across two self-defined genres:

Absurdist Horror: A blend of unsettling horror and surreal, absurd humor that serves as a tension release, creating accessible yet deeply engaging narratives.

Ironic Fantasy: A subversion of traditional fantasy tropes, presenting worlds that mix sharp satire, wit, and whimsical storytelling while retaining emotional depth.

The studio’s games emphasize exploration, player-driven storytelling, and the power of contradiction to evoke both discomfort and intrigue. This approach aims to offer players a fresh perspective on tabletop role-playing, blending humor and existential themes into cohesive gaming experiences.

Notable Titles

edit
  • Your World Has Been Deleted (2023): A chilling exploration of loss and identity set in a world where entire realities are erased. Combining cosmic horror with absurd elements, the game invites players to uncover mysteries while grappling with their own existence.[2]
  • Nights in the Neighborhood (upcoming): A narrative-driven game where players assume the roles of anthropomorphic animals protecting their suburban neighborhood from supernatural threats. The game merges weirdcore aesthetics with themes of cooperation, mystery, and action.

Mission

edit

The Company Studio aims to redefine TTRPG storytelling by embracing the unconventional, the bizarre, and the darkly humorous. With a commitment to creating worlds rich in detail and contradiction, the studio seeks to offer players unique opportunities to explore narratives that provoke thought, laughter, and existential unease.
