Delisting
Stela was delisted from Steam on January 23, 2023. By the end of January, the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions were also delisted. SkyBox Labs posted a Steam news post on January 17th, simply stating:
Stela will be delisted on Jan. 20th, 2023. We want to thank the community for all of your support, kind words, and of course, for playing Stela!
– SkyBox Labs
No reason was given for the delisting, but it was most likely the result of NetEase’s purchase of SkyBox Labs in January 2023, which may have required publishing rights to be updated. Stela remained exclusively available on iOS through Apple Arcade until it was removed from the service on February 15th, 2024.

Manipulate the environment to solve elaborate puzzles and creep past dangerous creatures under cover of muted landscapes, all set to an original soundtrack.
