Humans Must Answer: ex-STALKER devs invade Kickstarter with indie shmup bundle

News
By published

Humans Must Answer isn't the sort of project I'd expect from a bunch of ex-S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs. Not the title - that seems right up their bleak, nihilistic alley - but the game, a 2D horizontal shoot 'em up full of colour, lasers and explosions. Then again, I suppose you can only spend so long plumbing the depths of atmospheric human misery before frantic arcade fun begins to look very appealing.

It's a project that's on the modest end of the Kickstarter spectrum. Developers Sumom Games say that, whatever happens, Humans Must Answer will be released. The £5,000 target is for: "adding the extra polish the game requires, covering living costs and start-up costs that go into finishing and distributing the game." The team have just over £500 left to raise and just under 48 to raise it in, putting it in the close-but-feasible category.
