Hypercent is a South Korean game studio specializing in original PC co-op horror games for the global Steam market.
We develop and expand the Backroom IP through fast production, data-driven decision-making, and close analysis of player behavior.

Our first title, Backroom Company, has recorded over 110,000 downloads worldwide, including its demo, and established a strong player base across China, Korea, Japan, North America, and Taiwan.
Building on this foundation, we are developing Backroom Cleaners, a four-player co-op roguelike TPS that combines combat, progression, and replayability within the same universe. Within just one month of its reveal, the title surpassed 20,000 Steam wishlists and attracted more than 15,000 playtest applicants, with both figures continuing to grow.

Hypercent is seeking global publishing, marketing, platform, investment, and strategic partnerships to expand its original IP into a long-term global franchise.
