Around a year ago TCR went back to being indie again. To mark the occasion we recently brought the whole team together for an all-day jubilatory summit. We're proud of how far we've come, and are very excited about what lies ahead. Stay tuned - TCR 3.0 is just getting started.

I love both, particularly the commentary playthrough of Dear Esther. I adore all of The Chinese Room’s games, yes, but these are where I started, nearly 9 years ago for myself.

"Gone Home" is definitely a favourite among many at The Chinese Room. If you're yet to experience either game, our very own "Dear Esther" and equally atmospheric "Gone Home" are currently available together in a Steam bundle at a great price - store.steampowered.com/bundle/75941...
