Jenny LeClue and Kaptain Brawe

[Alexis Vale]

I know some Kickstarter campaigns get a lot of negative attitude, but that's not what I want this post to turn into. I love adventure games and great art, so when I come across someone making a game in a style I enjoy, I get pretty excited. I came across these two in the past week and thought I would share. I wouldn't share them if I didn't back them myself.

You play a little girl who is trying to prove her mother innocent of murder. I like that there is a physical narrator to go along with the choose-your-own adventure theme. The artwork looks beautiful--setting and characters. The only downside is a possible December 2016 delivery date (depending on funding amount and number of episodes), but I'm fairly patient. It looks like there's a good sized team on this one.

I never played the first Kaptain Brawe, but this has me interested in playing it! The team looks awesome (check out the link), and I'm already a fan of the artwork and theme. You can order the new game and get the prequel (for $20!) or a bunch of other offers. July 2015 release estimate.
