Development studio Question were founded by Jordan Thomas, who is best known as the level designer behind the Cradle in Thief: Deadly Shadows, Fort Frolic in BioShock, and as creative director of BioShock 2. Question themselves previously released The Magic Circle, a first-person puzzle game that grappled with auteur-led game development, and The Blackout Club, a multiplayer horror game that cleverly incorporated elements of live performance.
