Bloomylight Studios, the group behind the KickStarted title Lynn and the Spirits of Inao, have officially put out a statement saying that the game has been cancelled.

Bloomylight is a French indie studio, which plays into the recent events leading to the cancellation. The studio has been accused by several former interns of never paying their internship, which is illegal in France should the internship lasts longer than two months.

Following these allegations, some other negativity surrounding the studio and its CEO have been swirling around online and on Reddit, which has all culminated in the decision to cancel the game.

Take a look at the post from the development studio below, which was posted on their KickStarter page:

Hello,

First of all, thank you to all of the backers who supported Lynn and the Spirits of Inao.

After being deeply affected by the various stories from the past few days, and conscious of the mistakes from the past which are now harming the game, we have taken the difficult decision to end the adventure here. In the face of the violent declarations made to us and the threats uttered against members of the team, we now have to end this project that was born in 2011. It is regrettable that a handful of individuals were able to destroy the work of so many people and that they spent so much energy to cause a relentlessness of incredible violence against our team.

We would like to thank all the people who contributed to the game and got involved in the project. These last five years spent working hard on Lynn and the Spirits of Inao were an unforgettable experience motivated by the passion to create a game of quality and to offer a new experience.

Thank you for your understanding.

Bloomylight Studio.
