Eroge maker Little Witch has announced on their website that after the release of their latest game Sugar Coat Freaks on the 29th of January, the brand Little Witch will be suspended indefinitely. Aside from a few parts such as tech support, most of their business will be suspended.

Ooyari Ashito, representing Little Witch, writes that:

We still wish to continue making more games, but it has become apparent that if we continue like this and start developing the next game, we will start having trouble with funding before we can release the game, causing trouble to a lot of people, so we have come to the decision that we would have to draw the line here for now.

As I look back now, it has been a continuous series of obstacles after obstacles all the way from when we first set up Little Witch. Even so, the reason why we managed to make it this far is thanks to all the support from our fans. And the only thing that hasn’t changed all this time is my motivation to want to create new games. Even now, I’m still thinking of how we can make better games and how we can “continue” to make games.

I hope to be able to find a workable framework with sustainable development and growth.

I give my sincerest thanks to all the fans who have supported Little Witch for the past 9 years.

We’re giving our fullest right now on the final touch ups for Sugar Coat Freaks which is currently in development. We’re doing the final adjustments now to ensure we can deliver an even better product.

There goes another nice eroge brand. I always thought that they’d be totally awesome if they could get a good writer. Also I realised Ooyari Ashito’s art style is almost completely gone now in their newest game.
