Mah, since I have no idea where to exactly put this, (game maker section seems wrong?) I feel that since this involves money, it might fit in here instead. I just want to advertise this pretty awesome game by the one man army, sixe. Since I can't embed the video, please check his kickstarter page instead.

An unnamed protagonist whiles away aeons in deep, solitudinous sleep. She watches the tides in sunstruck dreams of an empty shore, patiently waiting for her life to end.
Alone in a skyless and desolate labyrinth-city , there isn't much else to do.
But then...

So, here's the general idea:
Challenging gameplay. Hectic combinations of environmental hazards, platforming, and lethal enemies reward players who assess, strategize, and stay attentive.
Mindful level design. The player's experience is managed by a carefully-paced series of dangers and savepoints.
A somber and expansive open-world connecting many areas in a network of pathways and shortcuts. Hidden areas and optional content encourage exploration.
Hand drawn cut-scenes help illustrate the vast and desolate setting of the game.
A "module-based" character progression system. Players obtain and arrange upgrade pieces on a grid in configurations of their preference, with certain patterns granting additional abilities or bonuses.
Players who die in-game die in real life.
