Majesco and its indie label Midnight City are facing serious trouble, a new Gamasutra report suggests.

The site makes note of the following excerpts from a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

“the reduction (in workforce) includes development and game-testing, selling and marketing, and support personnel. We are currently not developing any significant new games for release in fiscal 2015.”

“we have suffered losses that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, we are evaluating various alternatives, including reducing operating expenses and personnel costs, securing additional financing for future business activities, and other strategic alternatives including a sale or merger of our company.”

Gamasutra goes on to mention that Majesco’s indie publishing label, Midnight City, is facing trouble as well. Midnight City published Costume Quest 2 and is bringing Gone Home to Wii U.

Blue Isle Studios’ survivor horror title “Slender: The Arrival” is coming to Wii U, a listing from PEGI reveals. Majesco will be responsible for publishing.

Slender: The Arrival originally released for PC and OS X in 2013. Last month, the game made its way to consoles as a digital release. That means Slender: The Arrival’s Wii U version will likely be distributed through the eShop.

Check out the trailer below for a look at the title in action:
