Continuing the trend of reporting old news, Littlewitch announced last December that they're closing up shop "indefinitely" after their latest game, Sugar Coat Freaks, is released on January 29th. The main reason for the sudden announcement, as with most eroge brands that end up getting shut down, is due to economic hardship.
For those not familiar with Littlewitch, it's an eroge company founded in 2001. What makes Littlewitch awesome is Ooyari Ashito, whose unique art style became one of the biggest selling points of Littlewitch's games. When Littlewitch released Shirotsumesouwa -Episode of the Clovers- in 2002, it turned quite a few heads and put the company on the map. The company followed up with Quartett! in 2004, which was highly praised and sold even better.
