‘Murdered: Soul Suspect’ Developer Airtight Games Closes its Doors
I always hate reporting on stuff like this, because it’s never good when a developer is forced to close its doors. Unfortunately, that’s happened with Airtight Games, the studio that brought us Quantum Conundrum and, most recently, the supernatural thriller Murdered: Soul Suspect, which released last month on the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Whether or not you enjoyed their games, there’s no denying the studio brought us games that were different and unique. They weren’t your average Shooty McKill-style blockbuster action games. They had personality, and sometimes that was enough to overlook their flaws.
Thanks to all of the fans, family, friends and colleagues who supported us and made the last 10 years possible.

I’d like to wish the talented team the best of luck in their future endeavors, I’m sure they’ll find new work soon.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”

We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
