About Our Studio

Founded in 2015, Cochin Game Workshop has established itself as a leading game development studio in South India. Our journey began with a small team of passionate gamers and developers in a co-working space in Kakkanad, Kochi. Today, we operate from a state-of-the-art facility in Infopark Phase II, housing a multidisciplinary team of artists, programmers, designers, and storytellers.

Our philosophy centers on creating games that not only entertain but also resonate emotionally with players. We believe in the power of interactive storytelling and invest heavily in research and development to stay at the forefront of gaming technology. Our studio has been recognized with several awards, including the "Best Emerging Game Studio" at the India Game Developer Conference in 2019.

We take pride in our Kerala roots while maintaining a global outlook. Our games have reached players in over 150 countries, with particular success in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. We collaborate with international publishers and platforms while maintaining creative control over our original IPs.
