Revenant Hill ends development after co-creator falls ill
Revenant Hill, an adventure game about cute animals and shitty landlords, was supposed to be the next project from the makers of the critically-acclaimed 2017 GOTY contender, Night in the Woods. Today, indie collective The Glory Society announced it would effectively be canceled following unexpected medical complications for one of its developers. “Over the past 12 months or so I got very sick and it didn’t go away,” tweeted writer and artist Scott Benson on November 7.
The narrative-driven adventure game would focus on a cat named Twigs who is forced to find a new home after failing to make rent. “Times are hard, making ends meet is harder, and the world doesn’t stop at the edge of the graveyard,” the game’s description read. “Something big and dark is at work in the towns, the factories, in the forests and hills. Sooner or later, someone is going to have to push back.
