The developers shared the news in an update on Steam. They go on to say that they’re sorry for how development has ended, and that they’re grateful to those who supported them. That includes people who bought the game on Steam and those who backed it via a small Kickstarter in 2016. A different message was posted on the developer’s website, saying that the owner and team leader had “abandoned the project and stopped communicating with the rest of the team.” Game development is difficult and risky, particularly for small teams trying new things. Aside from aiming to create a story that would branch based on player choices, City Of The Shroud was a strategy-RPG with real-time combat, an unusual fantasy world, and online PvP alongside its singleplayer campaign. If you own the City Of The Shroud already, you will continue to have access to it on Steam and the online battle mode will continue to work.
