Splendy Games is a BAFTA-nominated, award-winning UK indie games developer and film production company producing ground-breaking transmedia video games and films - recipients of 17 industry award nominations including HORROR GAME OF THE YEAR. Their first game The Bunker is an award-winning psychological horror available now for PS4, XboxOne, PC/MAC and soon for mobile. The Director's Cut of The Bunker featured at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner, nominated for Best Narrative Short at the LEIFF 2017 and is in development as a feature film.
Splendy's founders are Allan Plenderleith (Writer/Director) and Simon Sparks (Producer). Allan is an award-winning director, screenwriter, author, illustrator, and app developer with over 7 million app downloads. Simon began working with Allan as a producer on the groundbreaking app 'The Hunting', the world's first fully live-action horror app, critically-acclaimed as one of the scariest apps of all time. Splendy partnered with Last Chance Films on The Bunker with producer Michael Richards - a highly experienced and award-winning film producer.
Simon Sparks, co-founder & CEO of Splendy Interactive said:
"Splendy is creating a new genre in video games, fusing the deep emotional connection of feature films with the visceral thrills and multi-path narrative structure of video games. Creative Europe’s investment in our bold vision has given us the financial freedom in prototyping to take risks and push boundaries.”
