2D Action-RPG Chasm heads to Kickstarter, drags a demo from its depths

Remember Chasm ? You have a terrible memory. Chasm is a rather promising sidescrolling Action-RPG, featuring Metroidvania elements and procedural generation - basically, the works. Back in January we mentioned that a demo and funding campaign were on their way at some point - and now that time has come. Discord Games are asking for $150,000 of your Kickstarter money to make the game happen; a fairly large sum, but this impressive demo may help them on their way.

The five-person team have already raised over $25,000 of the $150,000 goal, and there are 28 days left for them to acquire the rest. If you've exhausted the demo and you need further convincing, here's a monsterific gameplay trailer from GDC.

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
