Gilbert Vera, a man with a passion for vintage technology, has spent the last five years working on Hazard: Let Us Out, a new action platformer for the original NES. The game is now nearly complete and the Kickstarter for physical copies has officially launched.
The nameless protagonist of Hazard works for a robot assembly factory, and naively thought he could “improve” the robots’ code with one simple patch. Instead, he turned all the robots evil, and they’ve now imprisoned him and a bunch of scientists inside the factory. Can you rescue them all — or will you choose to save yourself instead? Hazard isn’t just a hop-and-bop: it contains several cinema scenes with moral choices that affect the ending.
You can get a digital copy of Hazard for a $12 pledge. You can also, if you so choose, get a “physical digital” on a custom USB card for $20. The physical cart, box and all, costs a $60 pledge and the Collector’s Edition of that box costs $95…but there’s also an Ultimate Collectors Edition for $150 that packs in an elaborate diorama of a scene from the game.
Backers of the digital version will get it as soon as the campaign ends, but it may not be the final version — if any bugs are spotted in this version, they will be corrected and an updated version will be sent. The final ROM will be what goes in the physical cart, which Gil estimates will take around 60 days to complete production.
- Crazy Bosses & Mechanized Mayhem
- Multiple endings (Depending on the scientists you save.)
- 5 weapons to unlock
- Choices matter in cutscenes
- Puzzle Platformer Mechanics
- Play Normal or “ONE MAN” mode
- …and of course, the Konami Code.
You’ve got 27 days to lock down your copy of Hazard. The campaign lasts until January 9.
