It seems that things went badly for the studio Layopi Games after the release of the disastrous Devil's Hunt. According to the Polish publication PPE, the developer has ceased operations.
After the release of the action game Devil's Hunt on PC in September, the team in Warsaw began work on the previously announced console versions of the game. But apparently they will never come out. PPE journalists, citing numerous anonymous sources from Layopi Games, revealed that the developers have not been paid for several months. The November salary was paid in three installments during December, January and February.
The situation worsened last Friday when employees arrived at work to find PC hard drives wiped and personal items thrown in the trash without warning. Instead of talking to his people about their future, the studio executive turned off company email. Layopi Games official account in has been silent since the release of Devil's Hunt. The last activity was seen on October 1st.
Devil's Hunt is an action game based on the novel βEquilibriumβ by Pavel Leshnyak. The main character is a man named Desmond, who made a deal with the devil and acquired demonic powers. The human nature in him is gradually fading away, but after passing through the gates of hell and returning back, the protagonist learns about all sides of the conflict, after which he will have to make a choice on which the future of the world depends.
The game received low reviews from critics: average rating on OpenCritic 50 points out of 100. In addition, the project has mixed reviews on Steam - only 51% of 135 reviews were positive. Mostly gamers compare Devil's Hunt with Devil May Cry and ironically note: βIf the devil saw this, he would definitely cry.β The game cannot compete with modern projects either in graphics, animation, or combat system.
