Filippo Beck Peccoz, a composer who worked with Mimimi Games before its 2023 closure, has transitioned into game directing with his debut psychological thriller Imprinted. He founded studio Cobalt Lane and opted for self-publishing with German government funding rather than pursuing traditional publisher deals, citing the rise of self-published games and the ability to retain creative control.
