Thatgamecompany, LLC (stylized
thatgamecompany, short
TGC, sometimes misreferenced as

independent video game development studio co-founded by
University of Southern California students
Kellee Santiago and
Jenova Chen in 2006. The studio was a developer for
Sony Computer Entertainment, contracted to create three downloadable games for the
PlayStation 3's
PlayStation Network service, and has since secured independent funding. The first of their games is a remake of Chen's award-winning

multiplayer modes and compatibility with the PlayStation 3's motion sensitive controller. The title was released on the
PlayStation Store in 2007. The company's second PlayStation 3 game,
Flower, was released on the PlayStation Store in 2009, and their third game,
Journey, was released in March 2012 on the PlayStation Store.
