Airtight Games shuts its doors one month after Murdered: Soul Suspect's release

Airtight Games, the maker of games like Dark Void and the recently released Murdered: Soul Suspect, has shut down, according to a report in Geek Wire.

If confirmed, that’s a sad outcome for the Redmond, Wash.-based game studio whose big title, Murdered, was published last month by Square Enix. The title was an impressive new original game in an industry full of sequels, but it fell victim to lackluster reviews (though GamesBeat liked it more than other outlets did).
