Thomas Grip
Frictional Games
Thomas Grip has been working as an indie horror developer for over 10 years. He co-founded the independent studio Frictional Games in 2007 and has since then been part of making four commercial games; three games in the Penumbra series and most recently Amnesia: The Dark Descent, all which have gotten critical acclaim for evoking strong emotions. His primary roles in these productions have been as designer, art director and programmer.
His studio's most recent project, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, have achieved an especially great success. It is hailed as one of the best horror games ever and have as of today sold almost 750, 000 copies, a vast amount for a small indie company without any financial or promotional back-up.
