Back in March 2014, Seduce Me was funded to the tune of $8,236. In case you don’t remember it this is an otome visual novel by Seraphim Entertainment. The tale focused around a young woman who had just inherited her grandpa’s house but, upon visiting,…
When it comes to crowdfunding you’ve got the good, the bad, and the ugly. In the case of Super Action Squad (formerly Super Retro Squad) the controversy surrounding the title falls squarely in the latter category. This Kickstarter has been one of the most poorly managed…
Back in September of 2013 Project Phoenix, a mix of real-time strategy and JRPG gameplay, got funded to the tune of just over one million dollars (roughly 1000% funded). This campaign brought together several talented game developers from both Western and Eastern nations to work…
Every month we take some time out from covering the lovely world of crowdfunded games to focus on a single non-crowdfunded game. The game chosen for the Not Crowdfunded, But… game of the month honor isn’t necessarily the latest or greatest, but it’s one worth talking…
[dropcap size=big]B[/dropcap]ack in February 2013, an online co-op post-apocalyptic zombie game by the name of ROAM was funded to the tune of $102,518 by 3,526 backers on Kickstarter. After the campaign’s end, updates were released every month up until March 2014. It’s a small hiccup that…
Roguelikes have definitely become a bit of a saturated genre, but for fans such as myself it’s hard to really mind the absolutely wealth of potential games to play. Another one was just added into the mix and it’s called Reikon Dungeon by Alcapa Games….
Do you remember Arachnid Games? They were the folks behind the Kickstarter for College-Ruled Universe, which eventually launched under the tweaked title Ballpoint Universe Infinite. They’re returned to Kickstarter with yet another gorgeous game, although this one definitely features a different aesthetic. Diluvion is a game about exploring…
So, here’s something that folks may not know – I was once outrageously obsessed with The Sims. That life simulator/god game provided countless hours of gameplay as I forced Sims to bend to my will. Because of a taste for these types of experiences, it was…
A lot of times, futuristic fiction tends to imagine a future where people attempt to leave the Earth when the planet is collapsing due to natural/social reasons. However, in Neptune Flux, the world has become nearly uninhabitable and space transportation just isn’t going to happen….
Welcome to the island. You’re stuck here. Forever. Congratulations. Make yourself at home…it’ll be a long stay. That’s more or less how Zadbox Entertainment’s Myst clone Quern starts. And it’s heavily inspired by that classic first-person adventure game. Right down to the exploration of a…

The Lost Pisces may have just launched on Kickstarter for Xbox One and PC, but as a follower of indie teams, I’m quite surprised to see it finally on the crowdfunding site. Originally, Sirenum Digital had planned a Kickstarter years ago! For various reasons though they’ve…
To some degree it has felt like the closer we get to the Oculus Rift’s official consumer launch that the excitement has honestly decreased a bit. No longer are we seeing tons of crowdfunding campaigns which offer VR experiences exclusively, but that mini drought is…
Wow, here’s a roguelike with one heck of a unique concept. In We Happy Few, you are the citizen of a dystopian 1960s England where everyone is on drugs. These drugs, known as Joy, turn regular folks into blissfully happy, obedient beings. However, if they…
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of horror games. Particularly if it’s got a psychological or supernatural bent. And Song of Horror offers both in spades. Being touted as a third-person survival horror game inspired by the classics it has big shoes to fill….
