Why it matters
An animation studio with in-house Unreal Engine staff is building its own IP as a game at an early stage and openly seeking a publisher, which puts the project's survival in a partner's hands rather than its own.

Adicharth Sakulvoratham of ASAP Corporation showed a demo at gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026, which opened on October 29 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. Development began about half a year ago with 40 to 50 people involved, and the studio is looking for a publisher.
The Bangkok setting is drawn from real locations, and the screen carries money for the loan shark alongside stamina and sanity gauges, which Sakulvoratham described as elements added for an RPG feel. Passenger pickups are marked with yellow icons, and each drop-off pays a fare. The horror comes during the drive: ghost-like figures appear, and the rearview mirror can show a pale person who looks long dead.
RiFF Studio works on animation for films and series. Development began roughly half a year ago including design and model creation, and a model team plus art and animation staff are on it. An animated teaser posted to YouTube in September 2025, funded by Thailand's Ministry of Culture and THACCA, shares the taxi-driver premise but is not game footage.
