What is happening now

Closure is a platform-puzzle game that blends light mechanics with spatial navigation across PS3, Linux, PC, and Mac since 2012. The game uses darkness and visibility as core puzzle elements, requiring players to manipulate light to create walkable paths through shadowed environments. Recent coverage surrounding Closure has primarily focused on broader industry turmoil affecting game studios rather than the title itself. The headlines reflect a wave of closures and financial struggles across independent and mid-size developers - from IO Interactive shutting down its Istanbul office to Polyarc ceasing operations despite attempting a non-VR port of its flagship series. While some studios like Alpha Dog Games have managed to regain independence after acquisition-related shutdowns, others face potential closure within coming years due to severe liquidity crises. These industry developments underscore ongoing challenges for studios operating outside major publisher structures.
