Italic Pig is an indie game development company based in Northern Ireland.
The irreverent team behind Mona Lisa (mobile, in development) and Schrödinger’s Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark (Steam/Xbox/PS4) was granted the award with their proposal for a new “vertical reality” adventure entitled The Infinite Hotel.
The Infinite Hotel concept pitch boasts the creation of a narrative-driven, immersive VR game combining elements of popular, award-winning games like Job Simulator, Papers Please, and Grim Fandango… “all from inside a 5-foot square.”
This is the second time Italic Pig has received Creative Europe funding. In 2015 they were granted €122,500 for their adventure game Mona Lisa which was match-funded by Northern Ireland Screen.
