"Ivy Road, the video game developer behind Annapurna-published cozy game Wanderstop, is shutting down on March 31. While Wanderstop was well-received and even critically acclaimed, it seems like it wasn't enough of a hit to sustain the studio while it develops a new game without getting investors involved."
"The studio's problems securing funding for its new game first came to light back in January when it laid off five team members. Even though the studio is shutting down soon, the team said it has one last surprise that will help Wanderstop reach new players."
"Wanderstop revolves around a former fighter, Alta, who manages a tea shop in a magical forest. In the game, you can gather ingredients and concoct tea, tidy up, talk to customers and learn their stories or just sit on a bench to think and relax."
Ivy Road, the developer of Wanderstop, is closing on March 31 after failing to secure funding for its new game, Engine Angel. Despite Wanderstop's critical acclaim, it was insufficient to sustain the studio. The funding issues became apparent in January when five team members were laid off. The team announced a surprise to help Wanderstop reach new players, with further details to be shared by Annapurna Interactive. Wanderstop will remain available for purchase and play after the studio's closure.
