David Jaffe’s studio, The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency, has laid off the majority of it’s games staff after an unannounced project was cancelled. The studio’s only release so far has been Drawn To Death which gained terrible reviews and was eventually given away free as part of PlayStation Plus.
The unannounced project may have something to do with this video which was hidden away on the Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency website when they teased Drawn to Death.
Jaffe broke the news via Twitter, using 1337 speak.
