What is "playdead"

Playdead ApS is a Danish independent video game developer based in Copenhagen. The company was founded in 2006 by Arnt Jensen and Dino Christian Patti, and incorporated on 4 February 2008. The two created the company to develop Limbo, exclusively for Xbox Live Arcade, released on 2010 to critical acclaim. After a year of Xbox exclusivity, Playdead released ports of the game to PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Android, through digital storefronts and retail releases.

During Xbox's E3 2014 conference, Playdead announced their second game, Inside, which is a spiritual successor to Limbo. They released a demo at PAX Prime in August 2015, and in the same year, pushed back release from 2015 to mid-2016, allowing further refinement and improvements. It was released for Xbox One on 29 June 2016, and on 7 July 2016 for Microsoft Windows via Steam, with PlayStation 4 slated for 23 August. The game received overwhelming acclaim and has been hailed as a worthy successor of Limbo.

After Inside, Patti announced his departure and handed all shares to Jensen.
