- A few important clarifications about Rhombico - 8 November 2025
This past week, I’ve received so many kind words, personal messages, and stories from people who have played our games. I can’t thank you enough for the warmth and all the words of support! And now, a few important clarifications to answer some of the questions that have been popping up: Rhombico Games is not closing completely, but we’re winding down operations significantly. This means no new projects are in development, and our activity will be much less from now on. However, the games we have released will remain available. Nothing is being taken down. You can continue to buy and play them on Steam and other stores as usual. Support will continue on a limited basis. If you need help, please use the contact form on our website. That’s the only channel we’ll be monitoring going forward. Unfortunately, we won’t have the capacity to respond on Steam forums, social media, or other platfo…

Hello everyone, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to begin winding down Rhombico Games. It’s a bittersweet moment, for sure. I am, at the same time, filled with pride for everything we’ve built, gratitude for everyone who’s been part of the journey, and some sadness for what’s coming to an end. Sometimes, things simply don't work out as we expected, despite putting all of our effort in them. We had a good run, though! As part of this transition, the development of our upcoming game, “Break, Enter, Repeat”, will be put on hold indefinitely. It’s a project I deeply care about and believe in. And I still hope that, in some form, its vision and spirit may find a way forward someday. As for the other games (Winds Of Trade, Automachef, Power to the People, Consumption Line), they sadly won't receive any more content or feature updates. I will try my best, though, to address critic…
