A Freshly Woven Kickstarter Wants to Fill You With Wonder

An idea that has been kicking around in the developers’ heads for quite a while now, Woven has grown into a point and click adventure which takes place in a world made entirely of fabric. Everything. From the walls, to the trees, to the living inhabitants. Your goal is to explore the world as a cuddly, fabric elephant, and figure out exactly where all this came from and as you progress, you’ll find other creatures (bunnies, bears and so on) and add their unique skills to your own. Quite literally. Not just in the sense of being able to copy what they can do, you can copy them. Because everything is woven into one, whimsical whole.

Currently standing at a little under €7.500 out of  €85.000 and with 27 days to go, I’m sure there will be lots of parallels drawn to Unravel and Little Big Planet. But there’s a lot more to it than that, and you can already dive in to see for yourself. There’s a playable alpha free to download and play around with right now which is always a thumbs up in my book.


Official Press Release

Hilversum, Netherlands – 7 September, 2016: Today, Alterego Games and Digital Forest are pleased to announce that the wonderfully woollen point and click adventure, Woven, is now live on Kickstarter.

Woven is a modern take on a point and click adventure game in which you explore a seamingly safe knitted world, where stuffed animals live. As a player you continuously customize your character by mixing different body parts to solve puzzles and bravely confront the dangers that lurk beneath the soft surface.

“We’ve been working for the last year on getting together a playable build of Woven, to show what exactly it is we’re aiming to achieve with the game. The team and I are incredibly excited to share this with the public on the launch of our Kickstarter and we hope that you love the game. We are all totally committed to make Woven as much of a unique experience, for everyone who plays it, as possible. No compromises will be taken when it comes to the feeling we want you to have while playing.” said Vincent da Silva, Creative Director of Woven.

“With Kickstarter we hope to create a game we that truly believe in and it also gives us the option of giving the player an absolute and undiluted experience without making any form of compromise to a third party.”

Woven is set in a world that consists solely out of wool, cotton and other types fabrics. You take control of a mysterious little metal robot named Glitch and meet Stuffy, a stuffed animal in the shape of an elephant. Together you set out to unravel the mystery of Glitch’s origin and discover things both amazing and terrifying, that binds the duo’s fate.

Hmmm... not sure what to think about this, I know it's a kickstarter game early in its development... but it looks like a first gen Xbox 360 game, kinda lifeless.

I read the article and the title and instantly thought of Kirby's Epic Yarn and Unraveled, both very cute platformers, but this isn't a platformer.

I'm Kind of on the fence with this, I'll have to keep an eye out on this, it has potential to be a unique and creative experience.
