Cold Turkey Games

About Cold Turkey Games

Cold Turkey Games is an independent video game development studio focused on the creation of original, first-party interactive entertainment. Founded in 2026, the studio operates as a remote-first, agile team with directors based across the United Kingdom, Norway, and the United States. The studio is dedicated exclusively to in-house development, prioritizing the production of engaging, high-personality PC titles rather than providing work-for-hire services.

Development Philosophy and Aesthetic

The studio’s creative output is defined by a commitment to accessible, fun, and iterative game design. Their visual identity centers on a stylized 3D aesthetic—often referred to as a "friendslop" style—which emphasizes character-driven humor and atmospheric environments. The team utilizes a production pipeline centered on the Unity engine, supported by a workflow that includes 3D modeling, UV mapping, texturing, and the development of custom real-time shaders.

Operations

Cold Turkey Games functions as a privately held, independent entity. The studio maintains a lean, collaborative structure where design reviews and playtesting are conducted through distributed digital channels. While the company maintains a registered corporate office in London for legal and administrative purposes, its operational model is entirely distributed, allowing the team to maintain a flexible, rapid-turnaround development cycle for their upcoming multiplayer and co-op projects.
