Offering a fully playable demo available on Steam, developer Black Garden Studios brings their dark fantasy title to Kickstarter, having reached over 60% of its initial funding goals within its first week on the platform.
As part of the Kickstarter campaign, the developers are offering exclusive perks, including exclusive collectibles, character palettes, and even a hand-painted tabletop miniature. Backers can also become part of the game world with portraits that appear in the game, or even part of the game’s lore.
The Kickstarter campaign will be running until late July.
