It's disheartening to hear that Vermila Studios, the creators of Crisol: Theater of Idols, have laid off their entire team just months after the game's release. While the studio itself hasn’t officially closed its doors yet, the situation seems bleak, with CEO David Carrasco acknowledging that a full shutdown is a possibility. Crisol had its quirks and was a bit of a hidden gem in the horror shooter genre, but it clearly didn’t perform well enough to keep the studio afloat. As someone who enjoyed the game despite its flaws, it's a stark reminder of how unpredictable the gaming industry can be. I really hope they find a way to recover, but it’s a tough landscape out there for smaller developers.
