Hi there! Jamin from Incus Games here. Just wanted to say hello, and let you all know what's happening with regards to our upcoming audio RPG, Three Monkeys.
Some of you might have heard about the game already. I just wanted to let you know that we're launching a Kickstarter for the game on Tuesday next week (Feb 10th) - and have a slew of really great content to share with you then.
For those of you that don't know, Three Monkeys is a fantasy RPG that looks to push the boundaries of what can be achieved with audio in games. The game puts players in the shoes of Tobar: a blind hero who embarks on a journey through a dark, cursed land, where the sun has been ripped out the sky.
While audio games in themselves are not new, they tend to rely on the same tactics. Most - knowing they have the player deprived of their primary sense - use scare tactics, throwing the player into an experience defined by horror and scare-tactics. Three Monkeys looks instead to empower the player, using mechanics that allow you to be pro-active; to attack, to make the first move.
The most powerful graphics cards you have at your disposal is your brain, and we want you to create the world of Byzantia for yourself. Just like you'd conjour up the imagery to accompany a good book, we want you to bring our world to life, too. We'll help you along the way, of course.
Key Features:
- Audio adventure / Fantasy RPG for PC
- Fully playable without any visual input; whether you're visually impaired or not. Works on all headphones
- Hunt, fight and solve puzzles, all by using your ears.
- Zonal, open world environments; explore Byzantia at your leisure
- Rich world and memorable characters
- Built in Unity

We'll be sharing more about the game soon, but if you have any questions in the meantime, ask away!
I'd also like to direct you to the Byzantia Tavern, which is the official forum for Three Monkeys. If you have discussions to raise about the game, that's the best place to do it
Thanks for reaching!
Jamin
