About KeokeN Interactive
KeokeN Interactive is an independent Dutch game development studio based in Hoofddorp. Founded in 2013, it creates narrative-driven science fiction adventures built around cinematic storytelling, environmental puzzles and detailed 3D worlds. Its work combines interactive narrative with themes of space exploration and humanity’s future, developing games for PC and consoles.
Science fiction adventures
The studio established its reputation with Deliver Us The Moon, its debut commercial release in 2018/2019. The game follows an astronaut sent to a silent lunar outpost to restore energy transmissions to a resource-starved Earth. Initially supported through a 2016 Kickstarter campaign and published with Wired Productions, it brought together environmental storytelling, exploration and puzzle design. It also became one of the early independent titles to showcase NVIDIA GeForce RTX real-time ray tracing in Unreal Engine.
Released in February 2023 through Frontier Foundry, Deliver Us Mars continued the series with expanded climbing mechanics and full-body performance capture. The sequel extended the studio’s approach to cinematic science fiction through more elaborate character performances and traversal systems.
KeokeN’s development capabilities cover the full production process, including narrative and scriptwriting, 3D world design, environmental art, sound design and original music composition. Its technical experience includes Unreal Engine 4 and 5, real-time ray tracing and performance capture, connecting visual production with story and gameplay development.
Continuing independently
After funding difficulties and a major restructuring in April 2024, KeokeN continued operating with a small core and a network of collaborators and contractors. It subsequently secured crowdfunding for Deliver Us Home, the concluding chapter of its space trilogy. The project remains in active development, continuing the studio’s focus on independently produced, story-led science fiction games.
