It reached 13% of funding in 3 hours, and at the time of writing, it’s 50% in with plenty of time to go. That shouldn’t stop you rushing to the campaign page and investing your pocket money so you can tell your mates that you were an associate producer.

Midautumn by Team Midautumn (Twitter), is a supernatural title using ‘lo-fi pixel art and psychedelic spell effects’. Sounds trippy.
