Red Hook Studios company

Red Hook Studios Inc. is an independent game development studio founded in 2013 by veteran creators Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman. The company was established based upon a shared love of making unforgettable and original games that are beautiful to look at and mechanically solid to play. They leverage their many years of collective experience and complementary skills, while also engaging a network of talented specialists. Darkest Dungeon, a challenging gothic RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring, is the company's first project.

About the Founders: Chris is best known as a top-tier creative director, art director and concept artist, with key involvement in the acclaimed animated TV series reboot "Max Steele", Eidos' "Monster Lab" franchise, and Disney's ill-fated (but beautiful) "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Doomed Armada." Tyler has designed or executive-produced over 15 published videogames and boardgames, including the award-winning games "HOARD", "Age of Empires: The Age of Kings DS", and "Crows." He was previously the studio manager for Z2 Games Vancouver, which acquired his previous studio, Big Sandwich Games, in 2012. Tyler has an MBA and BSc. in Aeronautical Engineering.
