History

In Fall of 2011, TikGames announced a video game based on the Child’s Play film series. Alex Tikhman, co-founder and Vice President of publishing for TikGames, said, “We’re proud to be able to bring a fan-favorite movie character, such as Chucky, to gaming platforms… Fans have been asking for a Chucky game for years and, soon, gamers around the world will be able to enjoy highly-entertaining, interactive, downright gory experiences with this brand.”

In 2012, the makers of the game posted a Kickstarter project to try and raise $925,000. They revealed they had spent half a million dollars on it so far and 18 months of work. They also posted a video showing off some early game footage. They only managed to raise $585 on the Kickstarter project and now, this was posted on the TikGames Facebook page: “It is with great sadness that we announce the cancellation of this Kickstarter Campaign. For those who have followed Chucky this last week, you know that pledges have been very slow. We built a fun campaign with lots of great goodies, got the word out to as many people as we could, but sadly not enough people loved the concept of a Chucky video game as much as we did. Our sincerest thanks go out to all of you who pledged to Chucky and we promise no charges will be made to your credit card for this Kickstarter project.”
