Chrysol: Theater of Idols e.g a very good debut for Vermila Studios and reveals a commendable ambition on the part of David Torner as creative director and the entire team. It is the work of years, to take the next step, to overcome a lot of difficulties and to get the benefits of various sub-enterprises (such as the Epic MegaGrant and the help of the European funds of the next generation) until we can achieve a distribution plan called the terror of Blumhouse Games, the video game division of the film producer Jason Blum.
