Horror puzzle platformer Inmost makes Game Boy graphics gloriously ghoulish

Former staff of Enotria: The Last Song developers Jyamma Games have revealed to RPS that they’re owed months of unpaid salary, following layoffs at the company last year. They’ve shared an inside look at a troubled independent studio dealing with payment delays, multiple changes of direction, and general confusion that stretches back to spring 2025.

Founded in September 2019, Jyamma are one of Italy’s better-known indies. Based in Milan, they worked on several mobile games before breaking into PC and console development with Enotria, released in September 2024. We liked Enotria, a sunny and theatrical action-RPG with a distinct vocabulary of elements and status effects, set in a world of gorgeously distorted Italian folklore. RPS reviewer Caelyn Ellis deemed it “a delightful Soulslike palette cleanser to chase down Shadow Of The Erdtree with”.

According to former workers who spoke to me on condition of anonymity, Jyamma were working on a sequel to The Last Song when the salary payment delays began over March and April 2025. At the time, staff were told the situation would be resolved quickly.

Instead, he announced plans for a trading card game adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s epic poem La Divina Comedia, aka The Divine Comedy - an exciting prospect, following Enotria’s explorations of Italian art and culture. Then, in May, Greco revealed to the rest of the studio in an email that Jyamma was experiencing financial difficulties, and would not be able to proceed with scheduled payments.
