Red Brick House is a Korean indie-focused publisher founded in June 2026. It has raised 10 billion won from investors who do not seek an exit, and it plans to release its first title, Void Diver: Escape from the Abyss, as Ver.1.0 in January 2027.
Red Brick House was founded in June 2026 by three former NeoWiz staffers. One month later, with no game released and no contract signed, the company raised 10 billion won, about 1.16 billion yen, from investors who do not seek an exit. That funding structure sets the publisher apart from the usual exit-driven model. The company's business rests on small sales targets and developer-held IP, and it is trying to sell games in a market where government support for making them outpaces support for selling them.
The publisher's first title is Void Diver: Escape from the Abyss. At Tokyo Game Show 2026, Red Brick House announced the game will launch as Ver.1.0 in January 2027 and will skip Early Access. Director Baek Ho-yong said the plan had been Early Access in the second half of 2026, but Steam Next Fest in June brought a large volume of feedback and Steam wishlist registrations passed 250,000, so the team changed course. NEMO STUDIO develops the 2.5D pixel-art extraction action game, which supports solo play and online co-op for up to three players.
In the game, players run the antique shop BALUSHA, send Divers into the Abyss for relics, then sell finds to VIPs through a card negotiation system. Light weakens enemies but drains its battery, and Stress triggers debuffs or special enemies when it maxes out. The TGS2026 booth, in the indie area of Hall 9, offers the same build as the free Steam demo, with sessions capped at 15 minutes during busy periods.
