The ingenius horror concept of Alone did not catch on with the Kickstarter community as developers Greenwood Games had hoped. The game made for Oculus Rift in which you sit and play a game called The Witching Hour on the couch in a virtual livingroom and witness as the world of the game comes to life around you. Only $9,048 from 356 backers was accumulated during the campaign, well short of the $25,000 target.
"This Kickstarter campaign created a fantastic community for us, which helped us a lot with their feedback and ideas. Even though we did not ultimately reach our financing goal, we would still like to thank every one of them individually for their support. It really means a lot to us, and we would never have gotten this far without their help," says Dan Wallace, co-founder of Greenwood Games. "Since we still haven't made a final decision on the future of Alone, we will keep everyone who is interested up-to-date via Facebook, Twitter, and our newsletter at greenwoodgames.com."
Remains to be seen if this project actually makes it out. Let's hope so.
