About The Company

Hello! We are Compulsion Games. We're an independent videogame developer based in Montreal, Canada. We have a small office in Saint Henri, where we enjoy trudging through snow in the winter and Montreal's festival scene in the summer. 

We started in 2009, and focus on creating new intellectual properties for PC and console using Unreal. Our team is a bunch of passionate, excited people, with a range of experience from very senior to junior. The two main things that we have in common are a passion for videogames, and a desire to create amazing work. We're now 40 people in the office and we are looking to expand with the right people.

Our first game, Contrast, launched on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and PS4 in November 2013, and on Xbox One in May 2014. It was a game about a little girl and her imaginary friend, set in an adult world of film noir, cabaret and gangsters. We're damn proud of it.

We shipped our second project, We Happy Few, in August 2018. It's a game set in a retrofuturistic 1960s England, filled with paranoid citizens and not a lot of food.

2018 was definitely an exciting year as we also joined the Xbox family; we are really thrilled to become a Microsoft studio. We'll be working on our new IP for the coming years so do not hesitate to contact us if you want to be part of the adventure.
