Imageepoch Inc. (イメージエポック, Imējiepokku) was a video game developer based in Tokyo, Japan.
The company was filed for bankruptcy in 2015, due to its declining sales and increasing debt.[2]
The company was founded in June 2005 by Ryoei Mikage. Their first release was the tactical role-playing game on Nintendo DS, Luminous Arc.[3]
In April 2015, Gematsu reported that Idea Factory's Yoshiteru Sato shared that he was unable to reach Mikage privately and confirming that the Imageepoch CEO had gone missing.[4] In the same article, Ryoei Mikage's Twitter account was noted as being inactive publicly for months.[4] The following month, Imageepoch was confirmed to have gone bankrupt.[5]
Imageepoch closed their doors and reopened as Mikage LLC.[6]
