New Kickstarter project, by Matt Gilgenbach (the maker of Retro/Grade) which looks really interesting. The game is a semi-biographical psychological horror game about mental illness, and the style is really unique. It is black and white hand-drawn semi-realistic cartoon style with spot colours, and needs to be seen.

There is an early demo to try it on the KS page.

I love it.

However, I really wish I wouldn't find out about these games until later on. I'm not a very patient person (nor do I have a good memory), so I'll probably completely forget about it by the time it releases at the end of next year.

Interesting.

Use a digital reminder then. Put the release date on a calender. That's what I do.

I watched the video: interesting idea for a game. I also like the graphical style. It reminds me of Haunts - another Kickstarter project, that sadly failed however. I hope this one doesn't, and I decided to back it with $10. One thing I'm a little concerned about, is the fact that the creator explains us about his own OCD and depression that lead to beginning the project - but what if the situation worsens so that he just cannot get any work done? Because you know, depressed people have the tendency to not get anything done. Anyway, I guess it remains to be seen - it's just ten bucks after all. And if all goes well, we might get a good game.
