  • Identity: CorpseSyndrome (Jessica Cruz-Guzman) was the lead creator, artist, and developer of Mario The Music Box and its sequel, Mario The Music Box -ARC-.
  • The Incident: On December 18, 2025, at 1:45 AM, a house fire occurred in Clyde North, Melbourne, which investigators determined was caused by the developer, resulting in a fatality.
  • Legal Status: She was taken into custody following the incident.
  • Impact on the Game: Following the incident, ownership of the Team Ari games was transferred to another user (Nyaner), with plans to remove all of the original creator's artistic and storyline contributions from future versions. 

Mario The Music Box was originally developed as a "vent game" (a creative outlet for personal issues) by the creator before becoming a well-known,, fully released indie horror project.
