Alexis Kennedy

Alexis Kennedy is co-founder of Weather Factory, a studio specialising in narrative experiments. Before that he founded Failbetter Games, where he created Fallen London and Sunless Sea - both critical and commercial successes that have continued to influence the indie end of the industry - but he left Failbetter in 2016 to do more exerimental work, and took a ronin year to do guest-writing gigs for clients like BioWare, Telltale and Paradox.

Weather Factory's current project is a 'typically unclassifiable' narrative game, the multiple-award-winning (and double BAFTA-nominated) Cultist Simulator, and their next announced one is BOOK OF HOURS, a combatless RPG set in an occult library.

Alexis lives in London with his biz and life partner, Lottie Bevan, and his daughter, Sonja, who prefers Minecraft. Also cats and so forth.
