The Other Guys is a mobile game development studio that specializes in creating interactive story-based games. Founded in 2012 by Nicolas Cuneo, Augusto Petrone, and Pablo Mayer, the company operates as a unique hybrid of a mobile app developer and a TV production studio. This structure allows them to work with over 30 scriptwriters to produce a high volume of content, capable of releasing more than one episode per day.
The company’s primary products are interactive series where the user's decisions directly influence the narrative's direction and outcome. This model offers an engaging alternative to passive entertainment like TV shows, allowing users to become active participants in the story. Their portfolio includes popular titles such as "Linda Brown" and the "Journeys" platform, which hosts a collection of interactive series. Another notable title is "Passionate Creatures," which blends romance, intrigue, and supernatural themes. These games are primarily targeted toward a female casual gaming audience and are available on both Google Play and the iOS App Store.
The business generates revenue through its mobile applications, which have collectively amassed over 37 million downloads. In September 2020, Gameloft acquired The Other Guys, a move intended to bolster Gameloft's position in the mobile gaming industry and expand its portfolio into the narrative-driven genre. Following the acquisition, The Other Guys continues to operate with its original management team, including the founders, but now functions as a Gameloft studio, benefiting from the larger company's commercial, editorial, and marketing support.
