This has been a crazy road,” waxes Truceful Entertainment after their failed Kickstarter campaign for Fritz. It sounds like either the start of a high school graduation speech or the beginning of a Kickstarter update. You can’t blame them though; the campaign for Fritz might…
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…
