It has been publicly announced that Yorhel, the creator of VNDB, [has passed away](https://vndb.org/t24787).

No words can fully express how heartbroken I am. I feel extreme guilt having never expressed directly how much his work meant not only to me personally but to the creation of [otoDB](https://otodb.net/).

I cannot imagine an Internet without VNDB. Thank you for everything.

Rest in peace, Yorhel.
