    [​IMG]The Kickstarter for A House of Many Doors has started today. The goal is 4,000 British Pounds and they are almost halfway there. A digital copy of the game is only 5 GBP.

    A House of Many Doors is a 2D exploration RPG coming to PC in July next year. I want to make the kind of game I love to play: a game with narrative depth, compelling characters, and branching, nonlinear storylines.

    In A House of Many Doors you are an explorer, poet and spy, traversing and mapping the House - a vast parasite dimension that steals from other worlds.

    You explore the House in a clanking train with mechanical legs. You will discover bizarre civilizations, assemble a dysfunctional crew and level up your poetry, while clinging to life and sanity.​

    There is also a comment from the creator about the differences with Sunless Sea, which was a game he was inspired by.

    PCGamer and Rock, Paper, Shotgun have covered the game already.

    I've been waiting for A House of Many Doors [official site] to arrive on Kickstarter for a while now. Developers Pixel Trickery are asking for £4,000, which will be added to savings and £12,000 of funding from Sunless Sea makers Failbetter Games, it's an exploration-based RPG set in a bizarre world in which you play a poet/journalist.

    The list of influences includes Planescape: Torment and Calvino's Invisible Cities. I want it.

    There is a pre-alpha demo and it feels like a pre-alpha demo, which is to say it feels more like a proof of concept than a slice of game. The text on the campaign page is a more convincing sales pitch than what is playable at the moment and I'm fine with that - this is a game, like Sunless Sea and Fallen London, that will be thick with words.​
