Originally revealed as a 3DS eShop game, the game has taken on a new form.
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.
