Heart Machine lost funding and has been dismantled. Almost all of the employees are fired. It's not clear who was that publisher that left the deal.

Possessor(s) was the only game I played from them and it was comically bad in terms of optimization — a 2.5D stylized game that runs worse than Hogwarts Legacy. All thanks to Unreal Engine 5! Because of that issue, they've had to lower the price drastically (to $9.99) after the release.

Oh, wow, that escalated quickly: since GFA Games stopped supplying bots into the ecosystem of Pioner (semi-online game) a few days ago, Steam charts quickly dropped from hundreds to a hundred and how it's below 20... but they are still selling it (definitely has to be delisted already)
