I just randomly stumbled on this and thought to make a thread about it. This game is created by two developers, including former Kingdom Come Deliverance art director Mikulas Podprocky

You can find a Kickstarter campaign about it here.

And press release

Prague, March 24, 2024 – Rawmeat, Prague-based Indie Game Studio, proudly announces that their video game, Scribe, has launched a campaign on Kickstarter.

After several hard years of Indie development, we’re ready to announce that Scribe has launched a campaign on Kickstarter. We’re eager to share our ideas, our passion, and the fruits of our labor with our fans and supporters. This campaign is not just about funding our project, it’s about building a community around Scribe, a community that shares our vision and our excitement.

About Scribe

Scribe is a unique fusion of retro platformer and side-scrolling action games, masterfully combined with the nostalgic charm of point-and-click adventures. This blend is further enhanced with the incorporation of modern RPG mechanics, creating a gaming experience that is both familiar and innovative. Despite its slow pace, Scribe offers an action-packed adventure and exploration RPG game, meticulously crafted by a dedicated two-person team.

The game seamlessly integrates platformer and action gameplay elements with the immersive narrative depth of point-and-click adventures. This combination places a strong emphasis on exploration, inviting players to delve into the richly detailed game world.

Scribe boasts a variety of engaging mechanics, including branched dialogues, quests, combat, crafting, stealth, archery, and magic. These elements are all presented in stunning handmade pixel art graphics, adding to the game’s visual appeal. The game’s mechanics are designed to provide a comprehensive and immersive gaming experience, ensuring that there’s always something new and exciting for players to discover.

Players step into the shoes of a rebellious Scribe, embarking on a quest to uncover the true history of the Continent. In this world, studying or preserving pieces of true history is a crime punishable by death, adding a layer of danger and intrigue to the player’s journey. The player’s path is accompanied by non-repetitive original art at every turn, further encouraging exploration and interaction with the game world.

Scribe is more than just a game, it’s a journey through a beautifully crafted world, filled with mystery, adventure, and a rich, engaging storyline. It invites players to explore, discover, and ultimately, write their own story.

Love what I saw in the trailer, but I'm reluctant to pledge as it look like it's not even going to make the first tier, currently sitting at 12K/50K with 11 days left. And even 50K seems like peanuts for a game of this scope.

Reminds me a little of UnEpic, which is a good thing.

 

[March Climber]

It looks like old school fun.

I'm not sure if it will be possible, but I hope it manages to reach 90k just so that I can play this with a controller instead of dealing with pointer controls.

This sounds fantastic! The mix of retro platforming, point-and-click, and RPG elements in Scribe is really intriguing. The pixel art looks amazing, and the idea of exploring a world where preserving history is illegal is unique. I’m backing this on Kickstarter—good luck to Mikulas and Tomas Podprocky and the Rawmeat team!
