I feel like something between a squealing fan-boy and a corporate sell-out for this, but here it goes. I really like the look of this game, and I really want it to reach it's pretty modest funding goal of $40,000. Please check it out and if you like what you see support the indie scene yo! One can never be too hipster... I mean cool, kind, and generous. (good save)

Anyway, what prompted me to bite the big one and step in to try and coerce/influence my fellow escapists (even though I am just a horrific lurker and rarely comment on anything) to support this game, is that I just received an the latest update from the Acid Wizards (AcidWizardStudio, how can you not want to support them with a name like that).
I have seen little clips from the game before, as there are a couple on the campaign page, and someone else posted one on here over a month ago when it all started. That first video I saw on here, and their amusing video begging for money (they don't beg, they seem pretty nice and legit), is what prompted me to shell out the $60 I could spare for the Early Bird Scholar (only 11 left).

Right... I will get to my point eventually... They have 9 days left and need just over $15,000 to reach their target, and it saddened me that the highest ranked comment on the video was someone saying this:
"Game looks intense, but you really need to advertise it somehow or you won't get funding!"
Whoever he is is so right. This game, as far as I have seen (but to be honest I haven't searched that much to confirm this) hasn't really cropped up on here, or the other websites I frequent, other than when the campaign was first announced. So... as a funder who wants to see what they have put their money and faith into succeed, I'm doing my little part and trying to give it some free press.
By the look of the game I'd say people with a thing for horror will be pleased. The atmosphere is bleak and dark and the fog of fear (basically fog of war) is a nice little feature that limits your already limited field of vision, which makes even the slightest movement or shadow seem like a deadly assault waiting to happen.
Just check it out and lets get talking about this game. There are too few horror titles out there (in my opinion anyway), so lets give this one a chance.
I hope I haven't offended anyone's sensibilities and that I've posted this in the right section... I haven't posted on here in so long I'm a little disorientated.
So yeah... *wanders off in search of a full english breakfast at 21:25 in Prague*
