Liminal spaces and the "backrooms" have become overused concepts on the internet, with people labeling any room or area that is even slightly off as some creepy space. It's annoying and tiring. But I still like the idea of eerie, dead areas hidden in our world in places like forgotten hallways and empty hotel rooms. I also like fast-paced boomer shooters that feel great.

Hyper Light Breaker studio will end the game's development and lay off staff

As we wrap up our work on Hyper Light Breaker, we've had to make the difficult decision to part with a number of talented team members. This was not our ideal path, but rather the only one available given the circumstances.
