The supernatural mystery action-RPG Witchmarsh, set in 1920s Massachusetts, has reached its Kickstarter goal with 17 days to spare. That means it's time to go stretch goal huntin' with the first at £70k.
It took 12 days for the campaign to hit 100% and indie Inglenook has opened up Paypal backing. Exploration won the community poll for what they'll focus on with the next content update.
Witchmarsh is a side-scrolling action-RPG where we control an investigation team solving supernatural mysteries in 1920s rural America. We need to find missing townsfolk.
"In just twelve days you've turned our dream into a reality. Thank you, from all the team. The response we've received is humbling," wrote the studio. "Very shortly we'll be opening up PayPal backing."
