COTTON GAME

Cotton Game, officially Shanghai Puding Network Technology Co., Ltd., is an independent game development company established in Shanghai, China, in 2013. The company focuses on creating games that merge new media art with engaging visual storytelling, resulting in immersive and artistic puzzle and adventure experiences for players.

The studio gained initial recognition with its debut title, "Mr. Pumpkin Adventure," which in 2015 became the first game from mainland China to be sold online through a collaboration with the Sony PS4 console. This title received several accolades, including the IGF China Best Art Award. Following this success, the game was launched on additional platforms like Xbox One, PSV, Wii U, and Steam. Another notable release is the puzzle-solving series "Isoland," which has accumulated over 10 million downloads and won numerous awards. Their portfolio includes other titles such as "Little Triangle," "Dad's Monster House," and "Tales of the Mirror."

Cotton Game's business model primarily revolves around developing and selling their games across multiple platforms, including PC, consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch), and mobile (iOS, Android). They release both premium (paid) games and free-to-play titles with optional in-game purchases or demos, catering to a broad audience. The company often collaborates with publishers like Lilith Games, Asmik Ace, and Big Pineapple to distribute its games globally.
