Since yesterday night, every few hours the instance seems to throw the message "500 Internal Server Error", and today also it started showing "504 Gateway Time-out".

Kbin.Earth had the error 500 once yesterday night too, so maybe an issue with DNS, provider or similar? Don't use it as much so haven't seen any errors since.

From the article:

Hello everyone! We wanted to share an important update with the community.

Due to the company shutting down, we’ll be retiring Path of Kami: Journey Begins. This wasn’t an easy decision, and it's one we made only after trying all possible options.

We just want to say thank you, truly <3. Whether you played the game, left feedback, shared it with friends, or supported us quietly from the sidelines, it meant the world to us. Seeing people experience something we poured our hearts into is something we’ll always be grateful for.

What this means:

• There will be no further updates or new content.
• Active support will be discontinued.
• If you already own the game, you’ll still be able to access it through Steam for the foreseeable future.

Path of Kami was a passion project and the community around it made the journey special. We’re proud of what we created and thankful for everyone who walked that path with us.

Thanks for being part of this adventure with us <3

The Path of Kami Team

Itchio not mentioned but company shutting down means no one can sell new copies unless someone else acquires the distribution rights, which doesn't seem to be the case.

The game has DLCs on both platforms, an OST on Steam and a demo on Itchio too:
