Fails WP:GNG / WP:NCORP. On the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine, there are total of 16 results (first it says 1,860 results, click on page 2 to see the real number), but they're mostly just passing mentions of the company. Like the Russian website Igromania, where Acheron Design is mentioned on page 2,697 of all games listed on the site, or page 76 of all PSP games, or the Brian Lara cricket games. The Kotaku AU is actually a link to another website, and an interview at that. In 2007, IGN UK reported that it was nominated for best start-up. Gamasutra says it received a "special commendation".

MobyGames' entry on the company has one game listed, and so does GiantBomb. The other developed game listed, Pony Friends 2, doesn't seem to be developed by Acheron Design either. At least, that's not what publisher Square Enix says on their website, apparently is developer Tantalus Media, also from Melbourne, Australia. I can't find any information on the other products listed. Like AFL DVD Trivia Challenge, BoardGameGeek has an entry on it, but it doesn't mention Acheron Design. As far as I can tell, Acheron Design has developed one game for sure, and that's it. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 13:34, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yes it existed, for a few years, had some commercial success and got some minor brief in-industry attention, then went insolvent. Nothing that I could find indicated any notability. Aoziwe (talk) 11:16, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:30, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
