I don’t normally post stuff about Kickstarter campaigns, but Gold Project might be worth a look. Developed by Dreamirl, Gold Project is a dark fantasy 2D metroidvania in pixel-art style that lets you choose between Light and Corruption symbolized by gold. This duality that impacts your progress, whether through new paths or new skills.

STORY

Kali is a huntress who once suffered from the malice of a god. Having caught wind of rumors about the God of Greed, vengeance drove her to take up arms again. She is now heading for the City of Gold.

The Goddess of Light will seek to take advantage of Kali’s arrival, offering her help by sharing some of her powers. But depending on her actions, Kali will gradually be able to be corrupted by the Gold as well, and considerably increase her power.

At every moment in her adventure, Kali will have to choose between Light or Corruption.
