Acid Wizard Studio, the developers behind the survival horror game Darkwood, have announced that they are suspending operations indefinitely. The reason is that the studio cannot maintain a working environment that can be classified as healthy, and with a workload that has negatively affected the company’s employees, they choose to pause their activities completely. The company states via social media that it hopes to return in 5-10 years and that it values the well-being of its employees more than anything else:
“Our families are our top priority and they should not be negatively impacted by our work,”
“In the end, we decided it would be best if we broke up, with a possibility of coming back in 5-10 years when we get our shit together. This doesn’t have to be bad news! We’re not disappearing into the nothing and want our games to live on.”
They also say they hope their games live on in the future and encourage other developers to get in touch if they would like to take over the work on future sequels.
