Company profile
researched Aug 2026Redbrickhouse (Red Brick House, ë ˆë“œë¸Œë¦í•˜ìš°ìŠ¤) is a South Korean publisher focused exclusively on indie games. Founded in June, it scouts promising developers in Korea and overseas and supports them across game development, publishing, investment and fundraising, working with each studio on a per-title go-to-market strategy and remaining involved after launch through global service operations, IP expansion and related business development.
The company's stated service areas include commercialization support, financial consulting and funding introductions, user community building and marketing, and global service know-how. Its announced lineup centers on VOID DIVER: Escape from the Abyss, an extraction dungeon-crawler with multiplayer elements distributed via Steam, alongside two unannounced titles: PROJECT B, described as an online co-op roguelite action shooter, and PROJECT O, a 2D dark-fantasy action platformer. More broadly, its pipeline spans roguelike shooters, cooperative extraction games and action-adventure titles sourced from domestic and international developers, targeted at PC, console and other platforms worldwide.
Founding story
The company was founded in June. Its co-CEOs, Hyukjin Kim and Jicheol Hong, previously led global indie game discovery, investment, M&A and publishing work at NeoWiz. The team also includes a China games business specialist with experience obtaining publishing licences (ISBN/version numbers) and handling local distribution.
Business model
Redbrickhouse publishes third-party indie titles rather than developing in-house, partnering with independent studios and providing commercialization support, financial consulting and funding introductions, community building and marketing, and global service operations. Its model extends past launch into global live service, IP expansion and related businesses, and it also participates in investment and fundraising activity around the developers it works with.
Traction
The company's site reports 250K wishlists for VOID DIVER: Escape from the Abyss and lists two additional upcoming titles, PROJECT B and PROJECT O. It states it has secured domestic and overseas projects across roguelike shooter, cooperative extraction and action-adventure genres.

Market position
Redbrickhouse positions itself as an indie-specialist publisher addressing what it describes as a gap in Korea's indie ecosystem: strong development capability but few global expansion partners comparable to overseas indie specialists such as Devolver Digital and Hooded Horse. Korean press has characterized it as the country's first publisher dedicated to indie games.
The company cites early identification of hit potential, familiarity with the global Steam ecosystem, pre-launch community building among international players, and preservation of a studio's creative identity while supplying business and distribution capabilities. It also highlights in-house expertise in the Chinese market, including securing publishing licences, to help Korean developers enter the Greater China region.
Go-to-market
Redbrickhouse works with developers from early development stages to assess market potential and player feedback and to tune game completeness, launch timing and platform strategy. Pre-launch activity includes building global player communities, followed by marketing and live-service operations. The company also promotes titles at industry events, appearing at BIC 2026 with VOID DIVER.
Independent game development studios in Korea and abroad, particularly small teams that lack in-house business and international distribution capability; ultimately, global players on PC and console platforms, including the Steam audience.
Geography
