Exit Veil, the upcoming creation from The team behind Tokyo Dark, just launched the Kickstarter for Exit Veil.
Cherrymochi, the indie devs behind one of our favorite narrative tales, just released more information and kicked off crowdfunding for the dark horror adventure, Exit Veil. The second crowdfunded title from the studio is an creepy occult-themed JRPG that throws in some interesting ideas. Integrating a tarot deck into proceedings, this mix of deep twisting stories and conflicted characters looks set to launch on Pc and Console if it passes muster with potential buyers.
In Exit Veil players will take the role Tori, a young woman desperately lost and cut off from our world. Descending into a labyrinth that seems to hide a festering decay, Tori must come to terms with her new reality as it crumbles and decays around her. Along the way you’ll explore weird mechanical systems, odd inhabitants, and a ton of intriguing sights that draw on western occultism, esoterica, and psychedelia. There’s a definite sense of Alice’s Madness to the whole affair, but with it’s own unique mechanics.
The aforementioned tarot deck bends this entire adventure in a whole different direction. Used to elevate the game, and available as a separate purchase, the Exit Veil Tarot is the key to unlocking in game abilities, and allow Tori to heal through the turn based combat on offer. To get a glimpse of this surreal mix of ideas, Cherrymochi has dropped a trailer and you’ll want to check it out before pledging any money.
