Bury Me, My Love publisher gets $2.28 million investment and a new name

The publisher of groundbreaking mobile game Bury Me, My Love has a new plan and stack of cash. The company formerly known as Playdius is also changing its name to Dear Villagers.

This rebranding represents Dear Villagers’ shift more heavily into console and PC games. It wants to bring indie releases and what it calls “double-A games” to market from a variety of studios. To act on that plan, it has raised $2.28 million (€2 million). French investment firm Inter Invest Capital was responsible for the entirety of the funding round.
