Kickstarter Launches For Blood Opera Crescendo
Kibou Entwertainment’s proposed investigative game Blood Opera Crescendo has a lot of good influences: the developers cite Ace Attorney, Persona and classic horror as inspirations. In 18th century Austria — also known as the Baroque period — you are orchestra director and skilled composer Heinrich Steiner, and you must track down the culprit behind a series of grisly murders.
The Kickstarter for Blood Opera Crescendo has now launched. Currently a $9 “Actor” pledge gets you the game, your name in the credits and a digital artbook, along with your portrait displayed in the game somewhere — this is cheaper than the planned retail cost of the game. $13 gets you all that plus the soundtrack. Pledge $22 and get two copies. The extravagant can go for the “Leading Actor” tier at $111, which gets you physical copies of everything.
You can also try out the game before you pledge — through a demo on the Kickstarter page, which contains one hour’s worth of gameplay and is available for both Windows and Linux (sorry, Macs).
