The devs say Barkley 2 "combines the focus on strong characters and narrative of Eastern RPGs with the non-linearity and openness of Western RPGs, drawing on the best ideas from titles like Realms of Arkania, Fallout, Dark Souls, Romancing SaGa, Dark Sun, Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall and Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne." They're asking for a meager (by Kickstarter standards) $30,000 to make it happen, with a notable $1,000 reward tier allowing you to covertly impersonate them in an interview.
