'''Robin Arnott''' is an audio designer and game developer who developed Deep Sea, released in 2010, and SoundSelf, scheduled for 2014.<ref>[https://archive.today/ezXWl Deep Sea]</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/PZixG SoundSelf press kit]</ref> Both games focus mainly on audio, with Deep Sea being audio only and SoundSelf featuring audio accompanied by abstract visuals. He also did sound design for Antichamber.<ref>[https://archive.today/0qAom Antichamber press kit]</ref>

Between October 9–12, 2013, Robin Arnott was the [[Indiecade]] 2013 Night Games curator, which meant he was responsible for selecting games for the Night Games festival, an open air arcade.<ref>[https://archive.today/d58W0 2013 Festival Organizers]</ref> Arnott chose [[Zoe Quinn]]'s game Depression Quest for inclusion in this festival,<ref>[https://archive.today/F4TiO 2013 Festival Games]</ref> giving it valuable exposure as well as being an honor used as selling point for Depression Quest.<ref>[https://archive.today/l1Kyz Depression Quest website]</ref> Arnott was on friendly terms with Quinn before the festival occurred:

*Quinn helped Arnott promote SoundSelf's kickstarter on March 28, 2013.<ref>[https://archive.today/7uI6K Robin Arnott Twitter - 28 Mar 2013]</ref>
*They discussed their brains "getting along" on 3 April 2013.<ref>[https://archive.today/hbphl Robin Arnott Twitter - 3 Apr 2013]</ref>
*On August 14, 2013, Quinn agreed to help Arnott set up a SoundSelf installation at Burning Man festival.<ref>[https://archive.today/5x43K Robin Arnott Twitter - 14 Aug 2013]</ref>

All of this led to suspicion that Arnott's friendship with Quinn influenced him in selecting Depression Quest for Night Games.
