Game Designer Vera Slevon Missing, Authorities Investigate Possible Suicide

The gaming community is in shock following the sudden disappearance of Vera Slevon, a talented game designer at Sumo Digital, who has been missing since September 12th.

Slevon, who was deeply involved in the pre-alpha development of the highly anticipated game LittleBigPlanet 3, was last seen leaving the office late Friday evening, but has been missing since.

In the days leading up to her disappearance, several unsettling assets were submitted to us by her co-workers from the files she was working on. One asset depicted the NPC "Wonderplane Wanderer" character Vera Oblonsky with a contorted, bloody face and black eyes. Another asset found featured a character named Techkit, a helpful cat robot NPC, retextured with a grotesque face for a screen and missing limbs.

The recent modifications to these assets had left several of her co-workers concerned for her "visibly declining" mental state.

Slevon’s family has issued a heartfelt plea: “Vera, we all love you, and if you can hear this, please come home.”

Sumo Digital did not respond to a request for comment.

Anyone with information regarding Vera Slevon’s disappearance is urged to contact local authorities immediately.
