“Today is a sad day. After 10 wonderful years, Versus Evil is shutting its doors. We’ve loved bringing you the best indie games we could find & sharing so many happy memories with you all, our amazing community,” the company said late on Friday.

The decision to wind up Versus Evil was likely handed down from parent company and Hello Neighbour publisher tinyBuild, reports The Verge. Earlier this month, tinyBuild reported impending layoffs in the face of what it called an “incredibly challenging year.”Ironically, Atari, one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers, on Thursday announced to invest $2 million in tinyBuild.
“We are pleased to welcome Atari as a strategic investor of tinyBuild. Atari is a timeless brand and its support validates the current strategic plan for tinyBuild,” said Alex Nichiporchik, CEO of tinyBuild.
tinyBuild announced on December 21 to proceed with a $14 million capital increase by means of the issue of new common shares. Founded in 2013, tinyBuild is a global video games publisher and developer, with a catalogue of more than 80 premium titles across different genres.
