independent development studio GriN Gamestudio. The game was released on 17 March 2015 for Microsoft Windows. On 10 August 2015, Wim Wouters, producer at GriN Gamestudio, published an announcement on the studio's website, in which he stated that the studio has closed down and requested bankruptcy, cancelling the development on the game's sequel ''Woolfe Volume 2''. He claims that poor sales and bad reviews put GriN Gamestudio into a massive debt that they could not pay back, as well as leaving them with the inability to provide the backer rewards promised to people who helped fund the game on Kickstarter.
