Late last year an interesting looking adventure game launched on Kickstarter and unfortunately failed to even get close to its goal, but you can never let a determined project down. While the first attempt for Essence failed to get funded it will be returning on February 2 with an updated look and even a little demo for us to play through and get a feel for what to expect for the finished product. I’ve personally felt that at least as far as crowdfunding goes a good campaign needs something to get us excited, whether it’s a demo or gameplay video. Which can only help the campaign in my opinion.
For those that forgot or weren’t around before, the essence of Essence is that you’re wandering through many landscapes and as your foot falls everything evolves around you. The main selling point for me was this constant change of the environment and I look forward to seeing what has changed since last year and I look forward to backing it again because I think it deserves it.
This is one of the lucky few projects I came close to backing. Maybe this time around I’ll have the confidence to go all-in! 🙂
