In February of this year, Crisol: Theater of Idols was released on PC and consoles. It is a first-person horror-action game set in a distorted version of Spain.
In July, it became known that all developers from Vermila Studios were laid off. This was reported by game designer Raúl Pernía Alejandro:
Several months after the game's release, Vermila Studios began a staff reduction process, which ultimately led to the studio's closure and the departure of the entire team. This is very difficult news for all of us who put so much effort and love into this project.
The peak online players for Crisol: Theater of Idols on Steam reached 1722 players, and then quickly began to decline. Recently, the peak has been around 50-100 players.
In Crisol: The Theater of Idols, players take on the role of Gabriel, a soldier capable of transforming his own blood into a deadly weapon. He must fulfill a divine mission entrusted to him by the Sun God:
Blood is both the source of life and ammunition. Use it to fight terrifying enemies and solve complex puzzles. But be careful: every shot depletes health. Balancing between life and death is the key to survival.
