Tarsier Studios is an independent development studio which is based in Malmö, Sweden. Founded in 2004 as Team Tarsier, the team eventually changed their name to Tarsier Studios when they released their first two projects involving SCE properties in 2009. In 2010, they signed a publishing deal with Sony Interactive Entertainment and Microsoft Windows on a new, unannounced project, gaining Sony's first-party support.[1] The studio consists of approximately 40 employees. On 19 May 2014 Tarsier Studios announced they were working on a new intellectual property titled Hunger for the PlayStation 4, but later re-announced as Little Nightmares which was released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.[2]

The City of Metronome
The City of Metronome, previously known as Metronome, is an unreleased adventure game by Tarsier Studios.
It was revealed during E3 2005 where it became an anticipated game for the seventh generation of video game consoles. However, the status of this project is uncertain since Tarsier Studios was unable to find a publisher up to 2007.
On 13 July 2010, Tarsier Studios announced that the developer had "signed an exclusive first party deal with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe".[12] It is unknown if the deal relates to The City of Metronome.
