Pocketwatch Games

About

Pocketwatch Games has been around since 2005, handcrafting the finest games out of all natural ingredients, including, but not limited to, caribou hide and rock salt.

Pocketwatch Games was founded in 2005 by programmer/designer/artist Andy Schatz. The one-man indie studio was first known for creating the IGF Grand Prize nominated ecosystem-sim game Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa and the subsequent game Venture Arctic. Pocketwatch had a breakout year in 2010 when the indie co-op heist game Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine won the Grand Prize and Excellence in Design in the Independent Games Festival. Monaco was eventually released to the public in 2013, garnering wide praise and selling hundreds of thousands of copies on PC, Mac, Linux, and Xbox Live Arcade.
