Developer Dreamirl is preparing to launch a Kickstarter campaign on April 19 for Gold Project, an action-adventure game interestingly described as a “karma-based metroidvania”. Set in a dark fantasy world corrupted by the god of gold and avarice, the game will put players in the shoes of Kali, a lone warrior who must take up arms against this corruption in the so-called City of Gold. Following metroidvania traditions, Gold Project will offer non-linear progression through a variety of zones, plenty of enemies and bosses to tackle, as well as light RPG elements that allow you to choose your path – by mastering skills connected to light and gold, that is, spellcasting and raw physical power. Karma will also play a key role during the adventure, as the various choices made throughout your travels will potentially close off certain opportunities while opening up various others.
Here’s a trailer:
