Digital Happiness & Soft Source Publishing Games

Digital Happiness is an independent video game development studio that gained international recognition through its horror franchise, DreadOut. The brand represents a significant milestone in the Indonesian gaming industry, showcasing the potential for locally developed intellectual properties to reach global markets. The development and creative direction of their products primarily take place in Bandung, Indonesia, where the studio focuses on blending cultural folklore with modern gameplay mechanics.

Soft Source Publishing serves as a critical strategic partner and publisher for Digital Happiness, facilitating the distribution and physical manufacture of their titles across various regions, particularly in Southeast Asia and Japan. While the creative IP originates in Indonesia, the physical retail versions (such as those for PlayStation or Nintendo Switch) may be manufactured in distribution hubs like Singapore or Japan. As of 2026, the brand remains under its founding ownership, maintaining its independence while collaborating with international publishers to ensure their Indonesian-born narratives reach a global audience.
