Flashback creator takes Subject 13 to Kickstarter

Paul Cuisset (Flashback, Moto Racer, AMY) is back to his old tricks and with the aid of Microids (best known for the Syberia series) he hopes to find funding for Subject 13 on Kickstarter.

"Subject 13 arose from a concept and programming experiment to become a passion I cannot put down," said Paul Cuisset. "We realized we needed assistance from players to realize the game's potential and we are asking for Kickstarter supporters to help us create an expression of pure adventure gaming. The early feedback has been very positive and we want to take it to the next stage-adding advanced graphics and an emotional score while bringing in gamers to share their feedback on how we can make the game its very best."

Here's a brief synopsis:

In Subject 13, players will take on the role of Franklin Fargo, a reclusive physics professor. Fargo leads a solitary and bitter existence following the death of his fiancée, Sophie, during a robbery that should have targeted him. One morning, he wakes up in an abandoned underground scientific facility with no external contact other than a mysterious voice. The voice calls him "Subject 13".

Subject 13 is looking for a modest $40,000 and with 29 days remaining it has managed $1,625 so far. If successful it is mentioned that support for Oculus Rift and consoles could potentially happen.
