‘The Kingsport Cases’ Kickstarter Campaign Is Almost Over

Published

on

There really aren’t enough games inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Outside of the Call of Cthulhu series and Guillermo Del Toro’s InSane — which may or may not be cancelled — “Lovecraftian” isn’t a word you hear very often when talking about video games. The Cases of Kingsport aims to inject a little more Lovecraft into our favorite genre, but for it to see the light of day, its developer needs money. Unfortunately, the game’s kickstarter campaign is nearing its end and they haven’t quite reached 50% of their modest $20k goal.

With three days left, I’d like to see if we can change that. Let’s give this game an epic final push. I can’t imagine it’ll receive the remaining funds in the next few days, but we can try.

You can support The Kingsport Cases by donating to its Kickstarter campaign, and you may also help it get distribution on Steam Greenlight. If you’d like to play it yourself, they have a *rough* alpha demo that can be downloaded on their Kickstarter page.

The Monkey is a short horror story that appeared in Skeleton Crew, a 1985 collection that also featured The Mist, The Jaunt, The Raft, Survivor Type, The Reach, and more.

Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel, the upcoming Longlegs) wrote the screenplay for the feature film adaptation and he also directed the upcoming movie.

“In The Monkey, when twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years.

“But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the brothers must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them.”

James Wan is producing with Atomic Monster partner Michael Clear (M3GAN), and C2 Motion Picture Group’s Jason Cloth (Joker) and Dave Caplan (Babylon).
