Omen Exitio To Finish Kickstarter, Greenlight
Omen Exitio: Plague, anarrative-based RPG game which draws from the old gamebook genre, set in the world of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythology, has landed on Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight. Describing the game, developer Tiny Bull Studios have said:
“Drawing from the dark realms of H.P. Lovecraft’s imagination, Omen Exitio: Plague’s story and plot will make you travel back to the late 1800’s. A dark hand is moving the wheels of history, trying to wake up dark forces that can destroy and shape the world in the most terrible ways. Discover what war-scarred Madagascar, smoggy industrial Europe and ancient temples of worship have in common, in an adventure that only you can follow to the best, or maybe the worst ending.”
The game is set to have a number of features upon release, including:
- Multiple endings
- Book-like story, written by professional writers
- Vintage game-book feel and graphics
- Historical references
The games story plays out like a book: page after page you will read through compelling descriptions of your surroundings, exciting combat scenes and disturbing interrogations. But this is not just a book: every decision you take will unlock different paths through the story, shaping every game differently and making your storybook truly yours, according to Tiny Bull Studios. Describing their ambitions with the game, the developers have said:
“Every game has an exciting story to tell, its own hero, its own quests, objectives and myths. By taking great inspiration from a generation of gamebooks, we’re trying to translate this reality to a videogame. We’ve teamed up with two professional writers to bring our story to life and imbue it with color and thrill, to bring our players the real gamebook experience.”
Currently, Omen Exitio: Plague is most of the way through its Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight campaigns.
