Quick, name the last game that was set in the 1920’s and more specifically, Massachusetts. Yeah, not many of those is there? Now, add in supernatural mystery, 2D side scrolling pixel based graphics and the depth and challenge of titles such as Baldur’s Gate and Wizardry to the mix. That is basically Witchmarsh and it is currently sitting on Kickstarter seeking funding to make the adventures happen.

For anyone that doesn’t realize it, this era is ripe for gaming liberties to be taken. Witchmarsh has you controlling a paranormal style investigator, the only thing is, there really is stuff out there in the dark unlike the countless reality TV shows ever show. Featuring a rich mix of Lovecraft and Wodehouse, Witchmarsh is definitely going bump in the middle of the night, the question is, are you willing to investigate why?

Witchmarsh is currently on Kickstarter with just under one month left in their funding campaign.

Thanks to Indie Retro News for the heads up.
