Of Lobsters and Crowd Funded Thermidor JRPGs

So, Thermidor, an Indiegogo tactical JRPG, set during the French Revolution of 1789, and being produced by a primarily East European/Slavic dev team…

…I’m listening…

I do have one question though, does it come with a Crevette with a Mornay sauce served in a provençale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pâté?

Wait, it’s a fictional romance between the two leads, Léandre and Armandine? That’s good too. The thing that actually stands out most, to me, is the option for a stealth approach once you’re already in combat. Not just as straight forward as getting behind an enemy for extra damage, but actually keeping your character hidden as they approach.

Currently standing at a measly $717, and with a month remaining, backer rewards include all the usual goodies. Name in the credits, early access to the game and so on, but there’s also a really darn nice looking Collector’s Edition with an art book, cards and the like.

The kind of thing…that I already have far too many of, but can’t resist laying down a few bucks of my own money on. So…yeah, urgh, thanks a bunch Omni! It’s not like I needed those three hundred dollars or anything!
