Japanese developer Cing, creator of fan-favourite titles such as Another Code, Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Little King’s Story, has filed for bankruptcy in Japan after suffering liabilities totalling roughly $2.9 million.

The liabilities, described as “insurmountable debts that the company will never be able to pay,” resulted in the filing being made on March 1st, and almost certainly brings to an end the studio that was founded in April 1999, and comprised less than 30 staff members.

It would certainly be a nice gesture if, say, Nintendo, swooped in and came to the rescue on this (seeing as how Cing have created some great showcase titles for the publisher’s platforms), even if that meant Cing became an internal developer, but I don’t see that happening, unfortunately.
