thatgamecompany is an American VideoGame developer, which was founded on May 15, 2006 by Jenova Chen and Kellee Santiago. After their first game, ''VideoGame/{{Cloud}}'', Sony contracted them to develop three more games -- ''VideoGame/{{Flow}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Flower}}'', and ''VideoGame/Journey2012'' -- for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 between 2006 and 2012, but they've since secured independent funding. Their latest project, ''VideoGame/SkyChildrenOfTheLight'', came out on UsefulNotes/{{iOS|Games}} phones in 2019, with other mobile platforms planned at a later date.

* ArtGame: Their entire creative output so far has been primarily driven by the exploration of the emotional potential of video games as a medium. In layman's terms, they were and are DoingItForTheArt first and foremost, and the fact ''Journey'' was also a massive commercial success, is just a coincidence.
