No reason has actually been given as to why. Most likely, this is coming from Netflix, who actually acquired Night School Studio back in 2021. Probably as they're trying to pull in more people to play games under their umbrella directly on Netflix.

It's sad that digital subscription services reserve the right to remove your subscription. If you are in EU, consider signing the Stop Killing Games Petition

Someone should challenge this legally. I'm pretty sure this is illegal in EU, no matter what the ToS says.

Sounds like something I'll have to look into before the takedown.

Edit:

Sounds like something I might have to "demo" in the future.

Anyone know if it will be staying on gog for the foreseeable future?

I sent email to oxenfree@nightschoolstudio.com and told them in no uncertain words that what they are doing is illegal, and asked how they are going to fix the situation.

If I can find time to, I'll see about contacting the local consumer protection organisation.

Is it only getting removed from itch.io? Because the game is also available on Steam and GOG...
