Today, Night in the Woods developer and co-creator, Alec Holowka passed away. Holowka's death was shared by his sister Eileen Mary Holowka on Twitter, who also shared some background information on the developer and some of the personal struggles he's had throughout his life. Alec Holowka was one developer apart of the three-man team behind the critically-acclaimed Night in the Woods, which released in 2017. Not only was he one of the creators and designers of the game, but also served as its coder and composer.

Earlier this month, Holowka was accused of sexual assault and emotional abuse, which caused the team behind the game to cut ties with the developer, and also cancel the project they were working on.

He was accused of sexual assault by Zoe Quinn, which you may remember as the main character involved in Gamergate and the developer of Depression Quest.

A fucking tragedy

Zoe Quinn finally got someone killed. Perhaps this is the time she stops.
RIP the dude

Of course she had to wait until someone died to stop

I'm furious at how such people get a voice in the Internet tbh
