What we do
Four ways we help games get made
Pick the engagement that fits where your project is today — from a blank Miro board to a live title that needs a second wind.
Original narrative games, start to launch
We concept, prototype, and ship our own IP — dialogue-heavy adventures and atmospheric puzzle games. Full pre-production sprints run 4–6 weeks, with vertical slices delivered before any full production commitment. Fixed-scope builds from AU$85,000.
- Narrative design & branching dialogue systems
- Vertical slice in 6 weeks, playable and reviewable
- PC, Switch, and mobile release pipelines
The studio
The people behind the echo
Fourteen full-timers above a print workshop on Gertrude Street. Here are the four who'll be on your kickoff call.
Tom Whitfield
Technical Director
Ex-Unreal engine tools engineer. Tom owns the tech stack, performance budgets, and every gnarly build pipeline.
Mei-Ling Chua
Lead Game Designer
Systems designer obsessed with the second-to-second feel. Mei-Ling prototypes fast and kills her darlings faster.
Darcy O'Sullivan
Audio Director
Composer and Wwise specialist. Darcy is the reason our games sound the way they do — reactive, warm, and never looped-out.

“QuantumEcho embedded two engineers into our Unreal project for six months and rebuilt our combat system from the ground up. We shipped on time for the first time in three titles.”
“Their audio team scored our whole game. The adaptive music genuinely changed how people talk about our title in reviews — reviewers keep singling out the sound.”
“We handed them a live game that was leaking players and they ran live-ops for a year. Day-30 retention went from 11% to 19%. Worth every dollar of the retainer.”
