It's crazy how fast this all happened. I hope Matt gives up some analytics on where all the backers were coming from.
I know Matt personally and his intentions all along are to help "normalize" metal illness just like any other illness might be. Few people have problems with other diseases, but mental illness comes with an incredibly powerful stigma that he's trying to help others overcome.
His personal experiences are the entire game, and it's extremely important to him to share these experiences as a way of helping others understand his illness better, perhaps helping people empathize with others too.
I'm so happy to see this succeed, especially after the $9,500 debacle stuff.

From what I read in the comments, it's been sorted out. The current amount is accurate. 101K, btw

I wish him the best in his cause. I understand what he tries to do. I also work with teens in special education, so I can feel the word "stigma" quite well.
It is just that by reading his pledge, I feel that if I dont like the game for various reasons, it is like not liking the person behind it. Which shouldnt really be the case, but it is difficult to dismiss that thought
It is difficult playing games based on personal feelings. If the game comes out and is completed like he wants it to be, I'll give it a closer look

No, that was from beforehand. At the time More_Badass and I posted, that issue was resolved and all funding was legit.

Very happy they made it which honestly I tought wouldn't happen three days ago. 
Also if someone is still interested in rhythm games please try Retro/Grade, it's much better than it appears at first.

Happy to see this legitly reach its target. Really did seem like it was the creator's final desperate attempt.

Heard that it made it right when Breaking Bad started. Happy for the team. Looking forward to playing it.

Ehh the demo was boring. I guess he traverses too slowly. Took about 50 rooms of nothing but pretty art to get to the end. It did feel pretty suspenseful though.

Alpha access is up!
If you dont want to buy alpha access, but want to see what we are up to, I did a walkthrough of the build and discuss the new features in this video.
While there is nothing really spoiler-y in the current alpha build, there will be, so I created a new section of the forum for alpha discussions. Please discuss the alpha build there!

Played the newest alpha build, the constant dread in the soundscape is SO GOOD. 4 levels right now, there's a drastic change to a mental asylum, bit of a generic setting but the way how the new enemy works within a 2D horror game is kind of cool. Another great jump scare at the start, new area now. Some more story elements which made me realise this is set in the late 19th century or something.
Not even the scariest game is scary all the time, so there's a good balance here of scares and constant dread as you're waiting for something to happen but nothing does as you reach the end of the screen. I like that the beds are basically save screens which fit with the neverending nightmares/groundhog day motif. I was waiting for the family portrait to do something freaky with the eyes. If there's too much of the stealth, it could make the game more of a puzzle rather than tense.
I'm sure this will be changed, but found it cute that the temp voice acting right now is Matt Gilgenbach himself voicing the main dude hehe.
Might put up a playthrough video of it, since the developer wants more of that.

Danny at gamespot/giantbomb was pitching it during the bombcast, said it was really interesting.
Yeah, It's awesome. Short, but awesome. Very unsettling. The type of game that should be finished in a single sitting. Seems there's a few branching endings, not sure how to get them, as me and a friend got the same ending. My lazy description is that it's the movie Groundhog Day set in an asylum.
