About the studio
Stone Labs Studios is an independent game studio in Allentown, Pennsylvania, founded by Matt Johnston. The studio makes games that feel like toys: warm, funny, tactile and led by story. The kind you pick up just to see what they do, then keep playing because of who you meet along the way.
The flagship project is Pengi: The Long Way Home, a story-led 3D platformer coming to PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. A second game, Puck Pups Hockey, is also in development.

Pengi: The Long Way Home
Pengi is about eighteen. He loves fishing, his friends, a good belly slide and pretty much any sport going. He waddles home across the Antarctic ice with the day's catch and finds his whole colony gone.
Up on a rooftop, something unexpected is waiting: Lacey, a pair of sentient canvas high-tops. Together they step into the Threadway, a strange transit country full of belongings lost by a mysterious convoy, and start the long way home through worlds like Bellows Orchard, the Drowned Orchestra and the Clockwork Whale. Every world teaches Lacey a brand new form.
Features
Belly sliding, hopping and climbing across hand-built worlds made of lost things. A sidekick who changes form in every world. A warm, funny story about friends, family and finding your way home. Built in Unreal Engine 5.
