A new sci-fi RPG from ex-Larian Studios developers, Encased, just hit its $100.000 funding goal on Kickstarter. The game has been backed by Larian Studios, developers of Divinity: Original Sin, and Obsidian Entertainment, creators of Fallout: New Vegas. Even Kickstarter’s own Editorial team has recognized Encased with a “Projects We Love” badge.
The funds will allow Dark Crystal Games to expand the development team and add new content to the game. With 5 days remaining until the end of the campaign, the team announces stretch goals that will help to expand the game that much further:
Stretch Goal #1: The Fallen Fortress encounter ($105,000) – A massive in-game event for players to discover: epic battle versus waves of hostile Raiders!
Stretch Goal #2: Free play mode with new content ($110,000) – Players will be able to continue exploring the world of Encased after the main storyline is finished.
Here’s what game’s Creative Director Viacheslav Kozikhin has to say about hitting the Kickstarter funding goal:
“We are developing the Encased for a while already and we felt a great support from the community and old-school RPG fans. We have reached pre-alpha and we are confident that Encased could become a great game. But we are a small team, and there is a lot of things that we’d like to add. With help of our community, Encased will now become a way more ambitious, better fleshed-out and polished game”
About Encased
Encased is an isometric RPG in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting. This game tells the story of a massive research project inside the Dome – an extraterrestrial object built in the middle of a desert by an unknown civilization – a project that has gone disastrously wrong.
An old-school RPG with a turn-based combat system, the story campaign of Encased will be 25-30 hours long, with great replayability. Players will explore an open world, make tough decisions with far-reaching consequences, and uncover the secrets of the Dome and its creators. The world reacts dynamically to the player’s actions, and changes constantly. This also works vice versa, as environmental changes within the game will influence the gameplay.
