In a surprising move, Netflix has announced the shutdown of Night School Studio, the acclaimed developer behind the hit games Oxenfree and Afterparty. The studio, which was acquired by Netflix in 2021, has been working on several projects, including the recently released Unhinged, a Netflix exclusive title.

The closure of Night School Studio comes as a shock, given the studio's reputation for creating engaging and innovative games. The move is likely to raise questions about Netflix's commitment to the gaming industry, which it entered in 2021 with the acquisition of Night School Studio.
