About Sloclap

Sloclap is a Paris-based independent video game developer focused on challenging third-person action experiences for PC and console. Founded in 2015 by former Ubisoft developers, the studio combines combat-focused game design with hand-crafted animation, stylized 3D art direction, and systems built to give players precise control and expressive play.

The studio’s work is rooted in martial-arts-inspired mechanics and responsive action design. Its debut, Absolver, introduced an online combat experience centred on a customizable martial-arts deck system and multiplayer matchmaking. Sloclap followed with Sifu, a single-player Kung Fu action game that pairs close-quarters combat with an aging mechanic and a revenge-driven story.

In 2021, Sloclap became a co-founding studio in the Kepler Interactive collective. The arrangement allows studio directors to retain operational autonomy while sharing ownership within the publisher-led group. Sloclap has since expanded its creative range with Rematch, a competitive online football action game built around 5v5 matches, manual controls, and arcade-style team dynamics.

More about Sloclap

Origins and craft

Sloclap was founded by former Ubisoft developers Pierre Tarno (Pierre Jacquin de Margerie), Jordan Layani, Olivier Gaertner, and Aurélien Topia. In 2016, Groupe Chevrillon invested in the early studio to help accelerate production of Absolver.

For Sifu, the studio worked with Pak Mei Kung Fu sifu Benjamin Colussi, who supervised the game’s fight choreography. This martial-arts collaboration informed the project’s close-quarters combat and animation work.

Studio practices

The company describes its operating approach as including hybrid remote flexibility, extended parental leave, and employee profit-sharing.
