The Kickstarter campaign for Tales from Centropolis, an upcoming game by developer Tendril Studios, is running with 39 days left. The game has raised $5,225 of their $32,437 goal (at time of writing), around 16% of the total so far.
Set in the 1920s, Tales from Centropolis is an adventure game that follows Marshall, a private detective who takes on a case that involves murder, industrial espionage, and his quest for a missing girl. The stakes rise as he makes his way to the mega city of Centropolis, uncovering a web of conspiracy along the way.
The game draws inspiration from classic Silver Age EC comics like Tales from the Crypt and detective comics such as Dick Tracy and cinematic influences like Blade Runner and Metropolis. The game also features an expansive world that comes to life through stunning pixel art, dynamic lighting, and neon lights, with areas like Redhook, Grand Hills, and Robov Regional Headquarters waiting to be explored.
In Tales from Centropolis, players can access a fully armored suit and a cerebrum crawler base form, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The game also features a fast-paced real-time battle system, where players must use quick reflexes and strategic thinking to take down enemies.
The game's Kickstarter campaign offers various reward tiers for supporters, ranging from access to the game's digital artbook to a custom character design in the game. The game will be released on Steam (PC/Mac) and the Nintendo Switch, with a stretch goal for a port to the Switch platform.
With its unique blend of 1920s aesthetics, intriguing story, and engaging gameplay, Tales from Centropolis is a game to watch out for. Fans of adventure and detective games should consider supporting this Kickstarter campaign and helping bring this exciting project to life.
