Weirdly enough I was wondering this the other day so I did some digging. There's an explanation on the creators website (https://www.sushifur.online/), in the FAQ.
"Q: What happened to your game? A: In short - I overworked myself, and had a big burnout. The Patreon was shut down, and everyone was refunded. Development is on hold for now, but I intend to return to the project one day when I'm ready."
The fact that they privated everything is a bit odd. I noticed they seem to do Twitch streaming with the avatar now, so my guess is either A: they burned out as they claim, and are a mite embarrassed about it, or B: they felt uncomfortable with using that character for that project and decided to can it.
Either way, I can't really blame them. It's a shame but it is what it is. Let's hope they return to the project someday.
