American McGeeâs Spicy Horse studio just launched a Kickstarter for a new game where you play as Dorothy going up against the Scarecrow. And it looks a lot cooler than it sounds.
Well, what there is looks cool. Sadly thereâs only really art to go on, and nothing more substantial, but unlike indie startups on the service at least thereâs the knowledge that, as an established studio, Spicy Horse will probably actually get this game done.
Provided it hits its $950,000 target, anyways. Which, boy, is a lot
Designed for PC/tablets, OZombie is a predominantly singleplayer game with âan emphasis on role-playing, tactical combat, exploration and story tellingâ, which imagines Oz as a remote Pacific island, with Dorothy teaming up with Tinman and Lion to bring down Scarecrowâs army ofâŚzombies.
Itâs clear the team are drawing a ton of inspiration from all of L. Frank Baumâs Oz work, not just The Wizard of Oz, which you can really see when you check out their complete fiction guide below.
