The development studio behind beloved VR character Quill in the Moss VR games is shuttering.

A post to LinkedIn shares a spreadsheet with dozens of names now seeking jobs.

In July, Polyarc released a flatscreen version of Moss called Moss: The Forgotten Relic to very positive ratings on Steam.

Very sad, if not entirely surprising. The desktop port already seemed like a sign that things weren't going well and that multiplayer spinoff game seems to have been a total failure.

I had both 1 and 2, good games and very novel, but I reached points in both where I just couldn't find the next thing on the agenda. One i tried loading from the last checkpoint and then continuing but then lost hours of progress which I just couldn't bring myself to do again, it just being too tedious. Traversing in search of some missed path also being very slow and tedious. So I never finished either.

I tried to give this game a chance, but it ran a little too poorly. Sad to see that they have been closed.
