heybeardo Posted June 6, 2014 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1027299776/witchmarsh Has anyone else backed this game? Looks amazing, genre-crossing mash set in 1920s Massachusetts. Still a ways away but looks like one to keep an eye on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikemariano Posted June 6, 2014 I declined to back it after watching one of the videos—the pixel art characters are just too anonymous for the atmosphere they're going for. They are also too small for the Castlevania-type action to be comprehensible. I will probably end up being completely wrong about all of that, though, because the designers have definitely spent a lot of time thinking about setting and atmosphere.

heybeardo Posted June 6, 2014 Yeah, I can see your point, but I like the ambition and designs. Looks like it'll be good fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Wookie Posted June 6, 2014 This looks very interesting, and not like the Massachusetts I know ! I'm still holding back from KS after splurging over $2000 on one particular game (loving every minute, but still!). I am glad to see it made its goal, and look forward to seeing how it plays. I also have some concerns about the small characters, even though the world itself looks very atmospheric. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I debated backing SuperHot but I thought this one needed my help more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBiasedMan Posted June 6, 2014 This looks great, good style, interesting setting and possibly changing a form of gameplay to appeal to me more. But I've given myself a limitation on kickstarters, no backing them if they have already or will probably hit their target. Mostly because I shouldn't spend too much on them when the 4 games and 1 film I backed are still in production (not dead, they're updating us but still a while away from release). I like the look of this though, I look forward to seeing what comes of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you're one of the three millionaires that backed Star Citizen! Also, this looks pretty neat. So many fascinating indie games on Kickstarter lately.

So many fascinating indie games on Kickstarter lately. Right genre, wrong game ! I only backed Star Citizen to the alpha level with the basic little ship. I think people who spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars to get early access to the bigger ships are a bit crazy, but I can't begrudge their loyalty to the cause (not without being a ginormous hypocrite anyway)!

Murdoc Posted June 6, 2014 I loved the description, but then when I saw that being a "detective" was just killing things it sort of lost it for me. Cool theme though, but feel a little cheated by their description. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Rocksteady revived the idea that he was the world's greatest detective, but that was the first I'd heard of it and even then the games are more about the punching and the kicking (and sneaking... BOO!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berzee Posted June 6, 2014 Peering through his magnifying glass, the detective deduced the exact location of the mystery and opened investigations. Moments later, the mystery collapsed in a pool of evidence: solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted June 7, 2014 I'm pretty interested in this. It's yet another game I'd back if I had a job. I'll be waiting for its release with much vigor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
