Incus Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its highly unique RPG Three Monkeys, a game in which the visuals exist only in the player’s imagination.
The game puts players in the shoes of Tobar, a blind hero who embarks on a journey through a dark, cursed land, where the sun has been ripped out the sky.
“While audio games in themselves are not new, they tend to rely on the same tactics,” explains the Kickstarter. “Most – knowing they have the player deprived of their primary sense – use scare tactics, throwing the player into an experience defined by horror and scare-tactics. Three Monkeys looks instead to empower the player, using mechanics that allow you to be pro-active; to attack and make the first move.
“The most powerful graphics cards you have at your disposal is your brain, and we want you to create the world of Byzantia for yourself. Just like you’d conjure up the imagery to accompany a good book, we want you to bring our world to life, too. We’ll help you along the way, of course.”
The team is looking to secure £28,000 to help fund Three Monkeys Part 1: Into the Abyss. Part 2 is already written and fully mapped out, but will be a follow up to Part 1.
