Yaoyorozu Quest to end services

Japan-based game developer Toylogic has just announced that it will be ending the services of its location-based RPG Yaoyorozu Quest on 28 September 2018.

Yaoyorozu Quest was initially released on 1 February 2018 and given the nature of the location-based setting of the game, players had to physically move about in order to fully experience the game. According to the developer, the game can be played in any part of Japan that has a street. That aside, Yaoyorozu Quest features traditional RPG gameplay elements such as recruiting allies, traversing worlds and fighting enemies. Yaoyorozu Quest is set in a world where the barrier between the living and the dead has been broken.  Humanity must band together in order to ward off the dark forces to save the world from eternal damnation.

Despite the popularity of Pokemon Go, location-based smartphone games seem to have yet to take off. Toylogic did not disclose why it will be shutting down the game, but given the lack of response to the announcement post, it is not difficult to guess why.
