The unfinished projects were: ''[[Amen: The Awakening]]'', a [[first-person shooter]]; ''Elysium'', a fantasy [[adventure game|adventure]] title; and ''Good & Evil'', an adventure title from [[Ron Gilbert]]. With GT Interactive spiraling into debt and no ship dates in sight, all three were discontinued by the fall of 1999.

GT Interactive was purchased by [[Infogrames]] and the Cavedog label was discarded by [[Humongous Entertainment]] in 2000, which renewed its focus on children's games. Cavedog declared bankruptcy in 2000. Humongous Entertainment was shut down in 2005 by Infogrames (now called Atari). Cavedog's developers have played significant roles at [[Gas Powered Games]] and [[Beep Industries]].
