ChillyRoom is preparing No Such Place for PC early access on October 14, 2026, after a June Steam Next Fest demo placed 20th among the most-played demos. The studio runs around 200 employees across small self-starting teams, with about ten mobile projects and three PC/console titles in development.
ChillyRoom's two public data points in this window describe a studio working at two scales at once. The company is a roughly 200-person operation organized into small, self-starting teams of four to five people, with most projects initiated by employees rather than assigned from the top. That structure supports about ten mobile projects and three PC or console titles in development at the same time.
Two of those PC and console projects are named: No Such Place, an extraction shooter, and Loulan: The Cursed Sand, described as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment's China Hero Project. A third, the cyber action roguelike ReBlade: The Death Spiral, was nearing completion after three years with a seven-person team as of June.
The clearest near-term milestone is No Such Place. ChillyRoom and CritTeam announced on September 24 that the game enters early access on October 14, 2026, for PC via Steam. It is a 2.5D top-down PvE extraction shooter in which players are agents of the Unknown Research Association deploying into other-dimensional spaces called Dimensional Fragments. Solo play is supported alongside online co-op for up to four players. A demo is already on Steam, and inventory and characters carry over to early access while mission progress resets.

ChillyRoom and CritTeam announced on September 24 that No Such Place will enter early access on October 14, 2026, for PC via Steam. The game is a 2.5D top-down PvE extraction shooter where players take the role of agents from the Unknown Research Association and deploy into other-dimensional spaces called Dimensional Fragments. Solo play is supported alongside online co-op for up to four players. Exploration areas include abandoned facilities, outposts, a burning forest, and highland snowfields. Players collect weapons, medicines, equipment, ancient relics, biological samples, and encrypted documents, then extract within a time limit. Death during a mission means losing carried items except those stored in a safe box. A Gunsmith weapon modification system lets players combine gun bodies with magazines, barrels, grips, stocks, and scopes. A Corruption mechanic can grant equipment special properties, sometimes allowing attachments that are normally incompatible to be combined. A demo is currently available on Steam, and inventory and characters carry over to early access while mission progress resets. Japanese in-game display and subtitles are planned.

In an interview at BitSummit PUNCH, ChillyRoom CEO Li Zeyang detailed the studio's unusual structure: around 200 employees organized into small, self-starting teams of 4-5 people. Most projects are employee-initiated rather than top-down. The company currently has about ten mobile projects and three PC/console titles in development, including the extraction shooter "No Such Place," the console game "Loulan: The Cursed Sand" (part of SIE's China Hero Project), and the cyber action roguelike "ReBlade: The Death Spiral," which is nearing completion after three years with a seven-person team.
