Direct peers

• Techland: Polish game studio behind Dying Light and Dead Island, founded by Creepy Jar's CEO Krzysztof Kwiatek who led its Warsaw office for 8 years. Directly comparable as a Polish mid-sized studio operating in the survival/action genre, and a natural talent/credibility pipeline for Creepy Jar.
• Iron Gate AB: Developer of Valheim, a co-op survival crafting game that became one of the breakout indie survival hits of the past five years. Directly comparable in target audience (co-op survival enthusiasts), revenue model (Steam Early Access → full launch), and premium-indie positioning.
• Re-Logic: Developer of Terraria, a 2D survival crafting sandbox with massive long-tail sales. Comparable as a small independent studio that built and maintained a single flagship survival IP over a decade-plus, mirroring Creepy Jar's Green Hell lifecycle approach.
• The Fun Pimps: Developer of 7 Days to Die, a survival crafting game with base building, co-op multiplayer, and ongoing Early Access-style development. Comparable in core gameplay loop and Steam-led distribution to StarRupture.
• Facepunch Studios: Developer of Rust and Garry's Mod, two of the longest-running multiplayer survival games on Steam. Comparable as an indie studio operating a flagship multiplayer survival title with sustained long-tail revenue and community-led development.
• Endnight Games: Developer of The Forest and Sons of the Forest, survival simulators with first-person open-world exploration, base building, and co-op multiplayer. Closest comparable in genre and indie-survival positioning to Creepy Jar's Green Hell and StarRupture.
• Coffee Stain Studios: Developer of Deep Rock Galactic and Satisfactory, and publisher of Valheim via Coffee Stain Publishing. Comparable as a premium-indie studio with a co-op multiplayer survival/crafting focus and similar team-size scale to Creepy Jar.

Broad incumbents

• Obsidian Entertainment: Developer of Grounded, a first-person co-op survival crafting game with strong commercial and critical reception. Comparable as a studio with a flagship survival IP alongside a broader portfolio, and a benchmark for premium narrative-leaning survival content.
• CD Projekt: Largest Polish public game studio behind The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. Comparable as a fellow Warsaw-headquartered, Warsaw Stock Exchange-listed premium game publisher with global reach, though at a fundamentally different scale and AAA scope.

Regional players

• 11 bit studios: Polish public game studio (mWIG40 on WSE) behind Frostpunk and This War of Mine. Comparable as a Warsaw-based premium-indie studio with similar team scale, Polish stock exchange listing, and reputation for high-quality, thematically distinctive games.
