Interior Night

Interior Night is an independent London-based video game developer founded in 2016 by game director Caroline Marchal. The studio creates mature, accessible and emotionally driven interactive dramas designed to bring branching storytelling to both game players and audiences drawn to prestige serialised television.

Its work combines narrative design, cinematic direction, visual art and full-cycle game development. Interior Night specialises in multiplayer, story-led experiences where players can influence events together, supported by real-time performance, staging and cinematics developed in Unreal Engine. Its approach also includes accessibility features such as audio description.

Narrative games

The studio’s debut title, As Dusk Falls, was developed with Xbox Game Studios Publishing and released in 2022 for Xbox consoles and Windows PC. The multi-generational crime drama uses a digitised motion-graphic-novel visual style, companion-app support and cooperative voting for up to eight players. In 2024, Interior Night independently published the game for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, the Epic Games Store and GOG, adding platform-specific features including DualSense haptics and touchpad navigation.
