We are a small game studio, building a retro-style top-down racing game for desktop platforms.
Curious Chicken Games Oy was founded in 2020, but the history behind the idea goes back to 2011.
Our founders, James and Markku, took over maintenance and development of the popular
freeware top-down arcade racing game, GeneRally, in 2010 - and alongside that, began thinking about
building upon its success. What we are working on today - GeneRally 2 (pictured) - is the culmination of
those years of experience and dreaming about how we could bring a well-loved game into a new
era!
GeneRally 2 is in development by a dedicated team of 5, who are working tirelessly to bring a fun, creative and easy-to-pick-up racing experience to desktop PCs. It is available to buy on Steam as of 30.5.2023.
Our team is passionate about making a high-quality, enjoyable and engaging gameplay experience, combined with best-in-class functionality for users to participate in creating in-game content to share with their friends and the wider game community.
Our small and enthusiastic team are working hard to ensure that we deliver something high quality, fun and memorable! Between us we have years of experience across the gaming and software industries.
