Oubliette Studios

Oubliette Studios was a video game studio set up by Doc and Beans. The studio developed Dark Quiet Death and its sequel, Dark Quiet Death II. Doc and Beans left the studio after a conflict of interest between each other and other studio executives.

Doc and Beans bought the building for the studio after the success of Dark Quiet Death. After departing the studio, the building fell into the hands of Mythic Quest Studios.

Building Curse

In the episode A Dark Quiet Death Doc sells the idea of buying the building to Beans by telling her that it's likely cursed due to a fire that killed fourty-two employees in the building and that every business in the building since has failed,

An oubliette is a jail cell meant to trap it's victims so that they can never escape and be forgotten about, with the only door being in the ceiling. When Doc and Bean named their company Oubliette Studios, the building showed it's curse by becoming an oubliette for Doc and Bean as they were trapped and only able to leave after their vision was destroyed by the studio and their original vision was forgotten about by the fans as they came to embrace everything that the game was not about, light, noise, and actually surviving/winning, and cute little Roscoe. You can see the continued embrace of Roscoe, both when CW is watching the spinoff Roscoe show, and before this episode when the young streamer girl is cosplaying as Roscoe at the convention.

The former Oubliette Studios may still be an oubliette as it is now trapping Poppy Li who cannot get a new job because she has worked too long in the cursed building, Poppy is shown drawing bars on the window of her office to symbolize that she is in a cell, and is dragged further into the game development later in the season.

The building curse is also seen working it's will in a smaller way with the Nazi echo chamber, or "Nazi jail" as is mentioned specifically in the episode. This was done to get people to forget that Nazis are playing Mythic Quest.
