Australian game developer Screwtape Studios announced the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to fund Damsel – a beautiful, challenging, arcade platformer with a kick-ass female lead facing off against an army of irresponsible corporate vampires.
Check out the Kickstarter video of Damsel, featuring some gameplay footage:
On the campaign launch, Product Manager Megan Summers said, “We’re really excited to show Damsel to the world. It gives us the opportunity to prove that you can have a traditional, challenging experience that appeals to a wider audience. Damsel isn’t intimidating, and by the time you realize the game is pushing you, you’re already hooked.”
On the character, Creative Director Anthony Wood said, “There can never be too many empowering role models for people, and with Damsel we’ve created a fun, relatable character for players to embody while learning the value of planning and perseverance in the face of a serious challenge.”
