Asylum a new horror game

in...in....in !

The Demo was promising. Looks like this is going to be a very good one.

This was actually mentioned on GoL before in August 2011, but things went up in the air with it. Glad to see they are committing to a DRM free release as for awhile it looked like it was going to be Steam only. The goal is a little high though, but they probably will still hit it.

As far as KS videos go, I loved this one!  These games really scare me, so I might support, but I don't know if I will play XD

Biggest news here (and under-reported) is that the team is open-sourcing the engine it is based on, called "Dagon".  It looks really cool!

How that IS news!! Right On!!

Not Shivers, Scratches. :)

@RustyBroomhandle
Yes you are correct! And the funny thing is, I own them both.

Actually, considering the average budget for games this size I think its relatively modest and given the short history of this team (Scratches...so far) its realistic. They are at the 52% mark now. Remember that Death, Inc (Also being made for Linux) is asking for 300k POUNDS! From the looks of the campaign progress there, odds of success seem very low. At best I think they'll only get 50% of that. I think Asylum game is worth investing in because these guys have what appears to high level development and unlike most Kickstarter game projects, has a chance of being released on time (4 years of work, nearly done it seems), and their goal is actually within reach. (Being from Argentina probably allows them to get better developers at lower rates. :D ). Anyway, my thoughts there.

The thing is this would not be the first time that a Kickstarter were to fail for having too high an asking price to be suitable for the platform. I am thinking of Interstellar Marines here, which got a lot of money and a lot of contributors but threw it all away by having too high an asking price. Certain games take a lot of money to develop yes, but there is only so much one can reasonable expect to get from Kickstarter. That is my fear with this, but they still could hit it if they get the word out enough.
