We’ve learned (via 4Gamer.net) that Japanese publisher Alchemist has filed for bankruptcy.

The publisher is known for games like Higurashi When they Cry, Umineko, and most recently Gal Gun: Double Peace.

They actually made the file back on April 1st, in the Sapporo district court.

This won’t affect PQube’s worldwide release of Gal Gun: Double Peace.
