Cult County is now on Kickstarter, with a funding goal of $580,000. The game will be developed by Renegade Kid, the team behind the Dementium DS games and recent eShop title Mutant Mudds.

Cult County is a first person episodic survival horror game. Taking inspiration from both Telltale's The Walking Dead and classic survival horror titles like Silent Hill, Cult County is a narrative driven game. The story centers around Gelvin  Mellick. While trying to find his sister to tell her of their mother's ilness, he arrives in a small town in west Texas during a sizable dust storm, and his encounters clue him in on the cult that has moved in known as the "Dust Devils."

Originally announced for the 3DS a year ago, Cult County will now be developed for the Wii U and other platforms.  Like other Kickstarters, supporters will earn different rewards if the fund goal is made, for example, a $15 pledge grants five episodes of the game upon their release.

I'm excited for a new FPS to come to the Wii

I was hoping this would stay on 3DS, but we have Ironfall and Moon Chronicles, so I'm not complaining.

only about $20k so far. Are Kickstarters becoming passe?

I don't think Jools has that much of a cult following, or at least the majority of them don't hang out at Kickstarter.

Maybe you're right. Successful video game kickstarters usually have at least one of three things in common: Beloved game developers, revival of popular franchise, or gorgeous and unique art style. They either need to get the word out to their base or start dropping some concept art that gets them talked about on the internet.
