Overview
Chibig is an independent video game development studio based in Valencia, Spain. The studio is associated with adventure-oriented games that combine exploration, narrative, and approachable visual design. Its releases have targeted multiple platforms, including personal computers and consoles, giving the company an international audience beyond the Spanish market. The studio's best-known early release is Summer in Mara, an adventure game released in 2019 for PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. The title established Chibig's profile as a developer of character-driven, exploration-focused games and helped position the studio within the international indie game market. Chibig has also used crowdfunding to support development and engage prospective players. Mika and the Witch Mountain raised approximately US$1 million on Kickstarter and was described in reference material as the bestselling Spanish video game in 2025. The studio also crowdfunded Elusive, which reached its funding objective within two hours and had increased its pledged amount to six times the original objective after a month of campaigning. These campaigns indicate a development model that combines game production with direct community participation and pre-release audience building. Publicly available reference material identifies Chibig primarily as a Spanish game developer rather than as a publisher, platform holder, or diversified entertainment group. Information about its ownership, leadership, founding date, corporate structure, workforce, and current release slate is not established in the supplied sources.
History
Chibig is an independent video game developer headquartered in Valencia, Spain. The available reference material presents the studio as part of Spain's indie game sector, with a focus on adventure games and releases designed for international distribution. The studio's documented breakthrough release is Summer in Mara, an adventure game released in 2019. It launched on PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4, reflecting a multiplatform approach rather than a focus on a single hardware ecosystem. The game is the earliest specifically dated Chibig release identified in the supplied material and is the title most directly associated with the studio's initial public profile. Chibig's later activity shows a strong reliance on crowdfunding as both a financing mechanism and a way to develop an audience before release. Mika and the Witch Mountain raised approximately US$1 million on Kickstarter. Reference material describes the game as the bestselling Spanish video game in 2025, although the underlying sales methodology and ranking source are not specified in the supplied information. The studio also brought Elusive to Kickstarter. That campaign reached its stated objective within two hours and, after a month, had raised six times the original target. The performance of these campaigns suggests that Chibig has cultivated a substantial community around its game concepts and uses direct player support to validate and fund new projects. The available sources do not establish Chibig's founding year, founder, legal entity, ownership, executive team, employee count, revenue, or current headquarters address beyond Valencia. They also do not provide a complete chronology of the studio's releases or details of its development partners. Accordingly, the documented history is centered on its 2019 multiplatform release and its subsequent Kickstarter-backed projects.
