Soot Productions is a Canadian independent video game development studio founded in 2014. Based in Toronto, Ontario, the company is known for creating point-and-click adventure games that often incorporate elements of visual novels.

The studio was founded by Jane Croft and Henry Lee, who are also the primary writers, designers, and artists for the studio's games. Their first release, "Remember Me," was a crowd-funded project that received critical acclaim for its storytelling and characters. The game follows the story of a patient in a coma who is forced to confront the memories of their fiancée.

Soot Productions' games are typically developed using a combination of game development engines, including Unity and RPG Maker. The studio is also known for its creative use of visual and audio design elements, including pixel art and jazz and blues music.

Soot Productions' second release, "IN Sunshine's Ways," was a more experimental game that incorporated elements of surrealism and atmospheric design. The game follows a detective as he investigates a series of mysterious occurrences in a seemingly idyllic world.

The studio's games often focus on themes of trauma, memory, and personal relationships, and its writing has been praised for its nuanced and empathetic portrayal of mental health issues. Soot Productions has received recognition from the video game community for its innovative and thoughtful approach to game development.

The studio continues to develop and release new games, each of which has been met with critical acclaim and a dedicated following. As a small but influential player in the independent game development scene, Soot Productions is worth watching for anyone interested in the latest developments in the world of point-and-click adventure games.
