Bureaucracy. Red tape. Conspiracies. What do these things have in common besides being major annoyances? Well, for one man it’s his continued existence. Both in a literal and figurative sense. The latest in a growing stable of adventure games coming out of IndiGoGo is Conspirocracy, a tale of intrigue and paperwork. “The truth, it seems, is rarely pure and never simple.”

Steel and Steam Steel & Steam is a retro fantasy steampunk JRPG taking place in a large scale world. Need I say more?

The mind is such a complicated thing. People have been diving into the human psyche for ages, trying to plumb its depths and unlock its secrets. Which is why it comes as to no surprise that psychological horror is such a popular subgenre in media these days. The latest adventure addition to the Kickstarter stables is Shades of Sanity, a contender for surreal and maddening awesomeness.

Do you remember the days when you’d hear the line “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this”? While there have been a couple action-adventure games covered in a “Currently Kickstarting” article, none have captured the charm of the early days of the likes of the original Legend of Zelda games. Sword ‘N’ Board looks to be one more game that will tickle your nostalgic bone. Instead of a point-and-click romp through a Sierra or LucasArts style game, you’re hacking and slashing your way through dungeons.

When you think of American McGee you generally think Alice. So who better to create a darker and more disturbing Oz than him? Just like his previous games, this isn’t your grandmother’s fantasy story. No, OZombie is so much more than what you’ve read or seen. Little has been revealed about the plot, but what I’ve seen leaves me breathless. And they promise an action-adventure experience that should make fans of American’s other works happy.

Done and done!

Currently Kickstarting: Alum by Micah Orsie "There have already been a number of retro Sierra- and Lucasarts-style adventure games Kickstarted over the past year, so why not add another one to the list? Micah Orsie and the people at Crashable Studios has just gone live with a classic point-and-click adventure game called Alum. You play as the titular character as he goes on a quest to find the cure to an epidemic dubbed “the vague” that has befallen the people of his city of Cosmos."

I've been staring at the gif thread at Pinkerton Road for months. I say bring it!

Now on Indigogo: Fleish & Cherry in Crazy Hotel by Red Little House Studios "Do you pine for the good ol’ days when cartoons were in black and white? Are you a fan of adventure games? Well, that answer is obvious if you’re already here. Fleish and Cherry looks like it will be a nice trip down memory lane all wrapped up in an interactive action-adventure story. With a twist. Instead of the traditional “damsel-in-distress” plotline, the male lead is instead the one captured and the heroine has to step in to save him."

A Vampyre Story: Year One is a humorous point-and-click adventure where you play as Mona De Laffite as she wanders Castle Warg and tries to escape it. It is a prequel to the original A Vampyre Story and it promises to tell the story leading up to it.

The creator of Earthworm Jim and The Neverhood, Doug TenNapel, is now developing yet another claymation pen-and-paper adventure game by the name of Armikrog. It stars a space explorer named Tommynaut and his blind dog-like companion Beak-Beak in a sci-fi adventure. As the project page promises: "They crash land on a weird planet and end up locked in a mysterious fortress called Armikrog. Then...the adventure begins!" We have not one, but TWO articles up on the KickstartVentures blog for you to check out, too: A new "Currently Kickstarting" by Michael Shaw (http://www.kickstartadventure.com/home/currently-kickstarting-armikrog/) A guest article by fellow AGRM member Speedster (http://www.kickstartadventure.com/home/welcome-back-a-game-designer-who-wields-the-pen-of-10-zaniness/)

Ages of Madness is a Lovecraft-style point-and-click adventure game where you play a young student named Balthasar. You're tasked to unravel a mystery in the ancient Middle East, and the fate of the world could rest in your hands as the conspiracy unfolds. If you're a fan of the Cthulhu Mythos then you should check this one out. Go mad...or go home.

Nelly Cootalot is a traditional point-and-click adventure game where you play as a pirate on a quest to rescue a bunch of hypnotized birds from the clutches of evil Baron Widebeard. If you're a fan of Monkey Island, I'd highly suggest you give this a glance as it looks to have the same charm and humor. They made a previous game (called Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy) that is freeware and they have a link to it on the project's front page.

Good news, everyone! The blog is now officially live and includes not just news about Kickstarted adventure projects but also reviews, interviews, and other articles. Come check it out and have fun. http://www.kickstartadventure.com/home

I'll also add that the author is a fellow adventure game fan and I've seen his writing. It's so worth at least a buck.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

What do you get when you take a traditional point-and-click adventure game and add a liberal dose of Boggle to the mix? You get Spellirium, a fun looking blend of story and spelling game. Now, it's not on Kickstarter or Indigogo, but they instead created their own funding page. Head on over to http://spellirium.com/ and check it out.

Here's a few adventure game projects that could use some help: A Small Favor The Realm Game AR-K Among the Sleep

If you want to know what's going on in the Kickstarter adventure game scene and are on Facebook and/or Twitter, then you should check out the Kickstart Ventures page. It was set up by Broomie (from Quest for Infamy) and has been providing news about past, present, and future projects. If that's not enough to get you interested, he asked me to help out in keeping everyone up-to-date. Since all of you (the regulars, at least) know that I've been backing most (if not all) of them you'll get all of the latest updates and announcements. https://www.facebook.com/kickstartventuresblog https://twitter.com/KS_Ventures If you're not on Facebook or Twitter, but still want the news, he's getting a blog set up for giving out the same information. I don't have a set date yet, but I'll let everyone know here when I know.

Totally worth going in on. The sample alone sold me that this is an awesome project. -
Space Quest memories needed for a magazine article
Intendant S replied to fov's topic in Starcon Academy
All right. I just posted something myself. Hope I didn't ramble on too much. -
Himalaya Studios' Mage's Initiation - Kickstarter
Intendant S replied to MusicallyInspired's topic in The Rocket Bar
Backed it as soon as I saw it was live. I've been waiting for this one for years after seeing how great their previous work was. -
Wow. Scott Adams. I remember those games. Rather light on the story, but still fun to play.

I'm at $100 currently (specifically for the liner notes), but the $125 vinyl tier is very tempting. I'll probably wait until towards the end of the campaign to do so.
