Hi,
Last year I was super-hyped about an indie game Kickstarter for a game called, 'That Which Sleeps'. I am not associated with the developers, but I was so impressed I decided to hype the game here and on other boards. Sadly I now feel seriously let down and feel the need to update the forum members here.
That Which Sleeps was a Kickstarter campaign for a computer game in which the player would take the part of an ancient evil, once sealed away and now returning to power.
The campaign ended on 22/10/2014, promising a beta by December 2014. The game was said to be nearly complete and funds were sought for graphical polish and some new features. A scenario viewer was said to have already been written and was promised to be released promptly after the end of the Kickstarter, using placeholder graphics.
It is now 22/10/2015. The beta has not been released. The scenario viewer has not been released. The developers have released a partially functional map editor and statistics editor (mod tools). There is no date for the beta. The developers produced 6 videos in the run up to the Kickstarter but in the subsequent year released only 4.
After protesting and writing critical articles, I received a unilateral refund and was removed from the project forum. I am unaware of whether other backers have been refunded as the project claims to be ongoing. My article is here – http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/?p=2642
