Allison Road Was Canceled By 'Mutual Agreement' With Publisher Team17
Right before E3, we got the unfortunate news that Lilith Studio's Allison Road, a horror game similar to Hideo Kojima's P.T., had been canceled. At the time, we were told to expect a full statement in a couple of days. That has finally emerged.
The developer says that it has moved on from the project after parting ways by "mutual agreement" with Worms developer and indie publisher Team17. The full statement follows:
Hi all,
After a long consideration between Team17 and ourselves, we have reached a mutual agreement to end our collaboration on publishing Allison Road under Team17’s Games label.
Sometime things pan out differently than expected as game development and publishing have so many layers of complexity... We’d like to especially thank everyone for their support through-out, it has and will always be appreciated!
We reached out to Team17 for its perspective. We'll update should we receive a response.
The real horror is that games like this keep getting canceled. One day, players will get the bone-chilling frights they so richly deserve.

Our Take
Games are canceled all the time, but this one stings a bit more given its connection to the painfully abandoned Silent Hills. However, if Resident Evil VII lives up to the tonal teaser shown at E3, perhaps that kind of experience will finally make its way to gamers in final form.

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.
