Polyarc, the developer behind virtual reality games Moss<\/em>\u00a0and Moss: Book II<\/em>, has closed, according to a new post on the studio’s LinkedIn page. Based on a reverse recruiting sheet shared alongside the announcement, at least 29 members of the studio’s staff are now looking for work.<\/p>\n

“After nearly 12 years riding the joyous rollercoaster of emotions that is making video games, our time together has come to an end,” Polyarc says. “As we wind down active development, we are saying our farewells to each other. Working together over all of these years has been an honor. Bringing surprise and delight to those who played our games has been a privilege. Thank you to everyone at Polyarc, our work is now finished.”<\/p>\n

The Seattle-based studio’s Moss series was an early VR favorite, thanks in part to the way it fused traditional action-adventure gameplay with a camera system that let you peer around diorama-like levels while controlling Quill, the series’ mouse protagonist. Polyarc’s output also became a reliable catalog filler for various VR platforms \u2014 Moss<\/em> launched on the PlayStation VR, and was also ported to the Oculus Quest as a launch title. Moss: Book II<\/em> was similarly released on PSVR, Quest, SteamVR and Pico, and the studio even released one of the few VR games for the Apple Vision Pro, a multiplayer strategy title called Glassbreakers<\/em>.<\/p>\n
