ABOUT US

Longdue is an independent narrative game studio incubated within HyperionDev. We create psychologically rich, story-first RPGs that challenge players to think, feel, and reflect. Our debut title, Hopetown is in early development, blending branching dialogue, surreal world-building, and psychogeographic storytelling in the spirit of games like Disco Elysium.

HyperionDev is one of the largest and most impactful tech education companies in EMEA, delivering human-led coding bootcamps with partners like Imperial College London, LSE, and Stellenbosch University. Backed by nearly 2000 investors and supported by Meta, we’ve helped thousands of students break into tech — and we’re just getting started.

Together, Longdue and HyperionDev share infrastructure, support, and a belief that storytelling and technology can create meaningful change.
