Spectropia Studios has launched their Kickstarter for their AR ghost-hunting game Scrylight, which has already reached 30% of its £8,000 goal. On now until October 31, the campaign has a limited-time Early Bird special until tomorrow, which gives those who pledge some cool digital exclusives.
As mentioned last month, Scrylight uses tech from Niantic Lightship, which was the basis for the tech used in Pokémon Go, for an Augmented Reality experience on either Android or iPhone, where the goal is to banish the ghosts you encounter using three pieces of evidence that you collect, and performing the ritual to banish them. In order to hunt, you’ll first have to use Scrylight‘s GPS system to plan out a “safe and suitable” location to hunt and scan for entities. From there, you’ll collect and compile pages of evidence from the entity, learning about its life and death. To get the evidence, however, you’ll have to gain the entity’s confidence by communicating with it or playing games with it. Up to four players can team up to go on hunts.
The Scrylight Kickstarter campaign features several stretch goals, including expanded multiplayer for up to eight players, a ranking system, additional game modes, and even a VR version. If the campaign is successful, the team expects a delivery date of November 2024 for a final Alpha version to be playable on Android and iOS. They’ll however be offering Beta Access, so players will be able to get a hands-on experience with the game, and to garner feedback for the developers to fine-tune the game.
