MAKING GAMES THAT MAKE YOU THINK (SORRY)
Cold Zephyr Games was founded by former students from the London College of Communication, who met during a collaborative MA module.
Everyone at Cold Zephyr shares a common thread of having returned to higher education after many years in the wild, and as such feel like our combined experience outside the games industry allows us to bring personal, unique approaches to our work.
As the section title suggests, we want to make games that play with ethics, information, and the human brain.
