Tangiers was on its sway to becoming another crowdfunding success story after it successfully raised £42,000 on Kickstarter in 2013. The game hasn’t had the smoothest development since then, but none of those obstacles were able to keep it from happening.

Like many other stealth games, Tangeirs is heavily inspired by the Thief series, so it will involve a lot of sneaking, hiding in the shadows, and a distinct visual style. The description on its Kickstarter page throws around some intriguing terms like [William S.] Burroughs, the Dada movement, and David Lynch as sources of inspiration. In that case, expect plenty of freaky moments and, in the words of its developer, avant-garde visuals set at the early outset of the 20th century.

In it, you play as a character new to this surreal world who must then get rid of five other “beings.” The game shifts around the player, or is never standard to begin with — hence the surrealist language — so that environments are incomprehensible, throwing players off from their normal conceptions of reality and design.

Tangiers doesn’t have a release date, but it will be coming to PC, Mac and Linux.
