Persona Theory Games is an indie narrative games studio based in Malaysia. Our mission is to tell compelling Southeast Asian stories through interactive experiences to a world wide audience.

We’re made out of a diverse group of people with experience from different creative fields like, advertising, comics, film and documentaries. Our journey started when we were writing for a mobile game called Sara Is Missing that became a hit and when on to win the SEA Independent Mobile Games Awards.

In July 2020 amidst a global pandemic, we released our first studio game, Fires At Midnight, and was met with good reviews, praising our narrative and art skill. Console release Q1 2023.

We just released Kabaret, with the help of WINGS and ID@Xbox. Our third IP will be The Lonely Hearts Petshop, and collaborating with Malaysian award winning animation studio, R&D Studios.

We are featured in international events such as Xbox Showcase, A Maze Berlin, Games for Change Asia Pacific, Gamescom Asia, Game Dev of Color, George Town Literary Festival and many more.

We have also released 2 short films on traditional arts, supported by the US Embassy in KL and Pusaka. Members of our studio have been mentors on multiple game events, including Level 99 GameJam, YSEALI Marine Warriors in Vietnam and YSEALI Game Changers organised by the US Embassy and Biji-Biji which we were also supporting partners alongside Xbox and Playstation. 

Persona Theory Games continues to blur the lines between traditional arts, games, films and Southeast Asian stories.
