    ABOUT US:


    Fireproof Games was formed in 2008 as an art outsourcing company collaborating on projects such as Little Big Planet and Killzone (among many others).

  4. The Room: Old Sins ANDROID BETA!

    The Android Beta for The Room: Old Sins is live!

    There are limited testing spaces available, with places allocated on a “first come, first served” basis. More spaces are likely to become available later in the week.

    To take part in the Beta test you do have to pay for the game - doing so will give you full access to the game when it's released on April 19th.

    We’ve been through QA and are pretty sure the game is solid, but we need to test on a wider range of devices. Certain devices might experience crashes, graphical corruption or slow performance – those are the things we really want to hear about!

    We’ll do some updates to solve problems as they come in, although some fixes might not be available until the game launches on April 19th.
