ALT-HISTORY VISUAL NOVEL ONE SPIRIT STARTS ITS KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!
Voyvod Arts aims at reaching a funding goal of $21,871 before August 5
The alt-history novel One Spirit, set in a fictional nation from Eastern Europe at the beginning of the 21st century, recently announced on social media the start of their Kickstarter campaign, which will be active until August 5, 2021. Voyvod Arts, the indie studio behind this dark, coming-of-age story, aims at reaching a funding goal of $21,871.25 (18,500€). At least the 50% of this amount will cover the development of the full game, which release is planned to happen between 2022 and 2023 on Steam.
One Spirit follows Yuri Danilin in his return to home, a small town called Nevilyovsk in the fictional nation of Sysica. The mysterious abduction of a young activist will be the starting poing of this playable drama where personal and public life are two sides of the same coin. The character will be voiced by the talented actor Yuri Lowenthal, who we already know thanks to NieR: Replicant, Insomniac Games' Spider-Man and Naruto.
