Dead by Daylight spin-off Project T has been cancelled, Midwinter Entertainment shut down

Midwinter Entertainment and Behaviour Interactive Inc. were working on Project T, a spin-off from the popular Dead by Daylight but it's now been shelved.

Set in the DBD universe the developers originally described it as: "Project T is a 1–4-person co-op PVE shooter currently in early development. Load your shotgun, ready your truck, and team up to traverse a haunting and dangerous world, facing waves of enemies from the darkest corners of The Entity’s Realm."

However, a new announcement was posted on the Steam page, and the description on the page also removed to mention:

To our Community,

When we conceptualized this project, we wanted to have players involved in it as early as possible, which led to the creation of this Insiders Program. This approach has allowed us to get very early validation on Project T’s core design and gameplay, which is something that often comes much further into the production of a game. Following the playtest in July, we ran a thorough internal risk assessment from both a product and commercial perspective. While a number of you expressed appreciation for what you played, unfortunately, the outcome of this deep analysis yielded unsatisfactory overall results.

It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that Project T has been canceled. We want to thank you for your support throughout this journey.

According to people who worked at Midwinter Entertainment, the studio has also been shut down as a result as confirmed by Daniel Alexander, who was Animation & Art Lead at Midwinter Entertainment. This was backed up by Gregory Marques, Lead Game Designer at Midwinter, who also confirmed the closure.
