Bankruptcy Hits Little King's Story Developer
Cing, the developer of Hotel Dusk and Little King's Story, filed for chapter 11 on March 1.
According to Data-Max, the company’s debt exceeds 200 million yen (about 2.5 million in U.S. buckaroos). Known for creating critically adored games but market clunkers, the company’s small niche of dedicated followers clearly isn’t enough to keep them afloat.
Previous titles from Cing like Little King’s Story and Hotel Dusk were a blast. We hope the developer can pull itself out of its financial debt and create a game that gets people talking (and pulling out their wallets).

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
