Chapter 11 is bankruptcy protection - basically stops your creditors from taking the cash you owe out of your hide.

Or rather the community liaison officer Calistas moved back to New Zealand to get married

Far as I understand it, they're citing technical reasons for the cancellation.

Personally I reckon they just killed off most enthusiasm for it by having a rotten lore writer who failed to bring any depth or excitement to the backstory of Fortitude and who made me go from avidly following any progress on this game for over two years to not really being that bothered anymore.
