Spiral Up Company Announcement

Posted October 19, 2022
A band of veterans from the indie games industry have come together to form Spiral Up Games, a global publisher dedicated to helping indie studios build great games and market them worldwide. 

Unlike most game publishers who are mainly focused on the Western markets, Spiral Up has a balanced focus on all the markets that matter. This includes China, the world’s second-largest gaming market. 
Spiral Up’s team members were behind the development and marketing of highly successful indie games like Chinese Parents which has sold more than 3 million copies, Home Behind, Gordian Quest and Sairento, all of which had received thousands of positive ratings on Steam. This unique blend of industry experience allows the publisher to not only intimately understand the needs of indie developers, but also help them polish their games into shining gems that can sell to worldwide audiences.

Spiral Up provides funding, marketing, game design advisory, QA, playtesting, community management, localization, and more. The indie game publisher is well-connected to game distributors and influencers across the globe. Through a comprehensive blend of exposure through influencer playthroughs, press, social marketing, active community management, and viral activities, Spiral Up is confident of helping the games it represents gain good traction and sales.

There are 3 upcoming games on Spiral Up’s roster - Back to the Dawn, Affogato, and Wandering Sword,  - all of which have received strong interest during recent game shows like Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, Pax East, and Steam Next Fests.
In Back to the Dawn, you play as a reporter thrown into a wrongfully maximum-security prison for uncovering a dark conspiracy. Make friends (or foes) with your fellow inmates and find a way to escape and reveal the truth.
Affogato is a RPG featuring a unique 'reverse tower defense' mechanic. You play a sorceress managing a cafe. Meet all kinds of customers, hear their stories and travel into their minds to help them defeat their inner demons.
Wandering Sword is a Chinese martial arts RPG painted in beautiful 3D pixel artwork, where you play a young swordsman caught up in a feud and nearly dies. The main story puts you on the path of pursuing perfection of the highest form of martial arts and exploring the pugilistic world to write your name into legend as a great hero. 

All three games are due to be released in 2023. 

Spiral Up is still on the lookout for more high-quality indie games to represent. Interested game developers are invited to submit their games for consideration.
 
Representatives from Spiral Up will be visiting Gamescom Asia in October and are available for meetings.
